Well the issue here is that there's cross, as in CX racing, around fields, where you can run your tyres really soft for tonnes of grip, or there's the sort of riding many people are doing on CX bikes, like that above, really it has totally different requirements!
It makes it even more convoluted than an MTB 'what tyre' thread.
this is totally true.....thats just my bit for racing cx or just riding xc on a cx bike.
It was the best that was easy to get to and navigate, but I personally found it very dull on an MTB (hence using the cross bike), and not worth touching in winter!
LOL!
As an experiment, I am going to write a sentence. Let's see how long it takes you to disagree with or criticise it...
"I am 35 and live in Cornwall."

Long shot here, but do you race in the Peak? I'm desperately trying to trace a mate called Pete Sharkey. I raced with him years back, but he moved to the Peak and took up cross?
i do an i know pete sharkey...go on the matlock cc website forum he's on there

**** me this sites great, cheers.
back to OP - I had Maxxis Locusts on my Jake the Snake which I use for a variety of stuff, but not racing. Also thought draggy on the tarmac - i have now got a set of Specialized Borough's on and much prefer them.
HTH
