It's been a good few years, ok more like 10+ from when I last rode cyclocross the tyres to have then were Michelin Muds for when it was muddy and the Sprints for when it was drier.

Just ordered myself a rather nice Cannondale CaadX, which comes with Schwalbe Sammy Slick, these look alot like the old Michelin Sprints, any recommendation for a tyre for when it's muddier and more chewed up, thank you.

Every autumn i've had the cross blues, it's the only form of bicycle racing I miss from when I was younger so at the age of 39 i'm making a return, vets next year!!

Good luck, be warned it's addictive.

Tonight I found out that the Yorkshire CX series races twice over summer round a school field I can see out my back bedroom. So bloody annoying! Always fancied a go but that would have been the ideal push for me.

On topic slightly I have 35mm Continental CX speeds on my commuter and they do a CX mud for the slop. No complaints.

Dugast Rhinos, or Challenge Fangos. I switched to tubs half way through last season, transformed the bike. Being able to run down to 25 psi makes a huge difference when grip is low.
