I've used cx comps a lot . Good ,cheap and fairly hard wearing. Some punctures.
Now on land cruisers , which so far appear to be bombproof and heavy.
I'm lazy so I'll get used to the weight if it means I'm not fixing a puncture at 5am.

gravel/hardback not much mud

I use Vittoria XN Pro's all year round in similar conditions.

Ampthill, the the trails are pretty much gravel/hardback not much mud and I can avoid the real rocky sections so the clement x'plor use would work well.

If you actually mean Trail Centre then you can probaly go quite road biased. Its actual mud that needs lots of tread and that isn't really a feature of most trail centres

Content with my Small Block 8s on the road, decent off road.

bit heavy but no punctures for 3 years! 32mm swalbe marathons (green guard) for me - not so good on mud but very predictable on loose gravel roads and great on dusty single track, roll well on tarmac

Clement Xplor USH are my favorite. Fast on road, plenty of grip on hardpack considering what they are. Great on gravel roads. Puncture free and wearing well with about 1500Km done.

Quite like Conti Speed for grip but they wear out fast and not that puncture resistant. Mate swears by some other things at 40c. Paid a fortune for them from the states (will try and remember what they are )with similar pattern to the Contis. Already looking shabby on the rear at 300km.

There's no way they will fit
Think I'll give the Clements a go

Had these in 38mm too. Better cushioning and off road grip but definitely more draggy on road
