Uncle John Cyclocross Tyre

Might be doing first race on Sunday, and these look like a good option.

Anyone have any experience? And, should I leave them on there for the commute, would I be right in saying no real puncture protection?

Its a great winter training tyre, all that extra weight will pay dividends when you swap them in the spring.

Rolling mass mun. Once going they never stop! Anyway, ordered so will report back soon

Anyhoo, pretty good. Obviously not for the gloopy stuff but really good on grass and dry trails, gravel etc.

And very good for commuting. 6 commutes so far, 40 miles round trips, no issues and roll very well.

They look very similar to the Kenda Small Block 8s which are excellent for the same stuff you mention.

Yeah, made by Vee Rubber and, I think, they even have the cheek to call them the Vee 8. Come in lots of sizes up to fat bike.
