just wondered whether they were up to much. my CX jaunts on 28c stelvios could get sketchy if its damp see.

    It's a semi-slick so fine for hardpack trails, towpaths etc but don't expect anything special in muddy or loose conditions - at least the side knobs will give you smoe sort of grip whilst cornering. The big secret with grip on CX is running low tyre pressures - fine in soft conditions but can lead to puncture problems on hard ground
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..
