Cyclocross Tyres

[DennisMennis]

My apologies if there is already a similar thread.

 

Can anyone tell me what is the widest cyclocross tyre I can fit on a Giant Comax 1? It is sold with 700 x 25 road tyres.

 

Is it just the fork width that governs this or does the rim also limit the width?

 

These tyres don't seem to be readily available - can anyone tell me the best place to look in the Fourways / northern Joburg area? Looking for something fairly slick but with a bit of grip for gravel roads / roadside paths - best suggestion for make & model??

 

Many thanks.

You can go up to 35mm tyre.

Thanks Gummibear.

Just remember that you keep the pressure low on CX tyres but you can go harder for the road.

That looks like a hot, versatile machine.
