confusion is the right word for it, I recently went on a bit of a cheap wheelset buying mission now I don't know which to use on which bike ...?
Firstly I need so CX tyres slightly more robust than the Conti speed kings??? but not too heavy as I use this for on/off road commuting.
I have a set of nice new red Fulcrum 7s should I put these on the Ribble commuter and take the hand built Mavic open pro off for better weather?
My CF Ribble has some cheap o Campag Vento rection, do I leave them on or put the Mavic's on?
PS. These look good for winter CX commuting http://www.conti-tyres.co.uk/conticycle ... plus.shtml
I won't even go into the planet-x B's and spare rims situation....
On to tyres for the MTB, I have spikes for ice (now) I also have various conti's speedking, explorer etc but seeing as Planet-x have some good offers on Schlwalbe ATM I thought I might try some out, any recommendations again for off/on road nothing to hardcore.

I'm still on the Schwalbe Racing Ralphs that came with the bike - they've done snow, ice, melted crap, off-road and tarmac and come through smiling - much better than the contis I had on the CDF0
