29er MTB tires on CX bike
Moderator: Moderator Team
Depends on your definition of a 29er tyre? CX tyres are 622 ERTO which is the same as 29er - but the two key factors are frame clearances and rim width. There aren't many CX frames that will allow you to fit a tyre wider than 40mm plus and fitting a 40mm tyre on a 20mm 700c rim is simply asking for trouble as the tyre bead simply pops-off the rim. Obviously, using a wider rim like a Velocity A23 allows you to run wider tyres safely.

I used a Bontrager Jones XR 1.8 on the front of my Stevens cross bike, fit great and was fun on the MTB trails!!
to go faster....just pedal harder!
