What tires do you train/race on?
Moderator: Moderator Team
I'd love to get your input into some tire selection exercise I am doing. Can you please specify what tires you use for different activities like:
CX training
CX racing
If you use different tires for different conditions (dry, mud, ..) please specify too. If you also ride/race road I have a separate thread for that.
Many thx

Train: Michelin Mud 2
Race: 1 pair Challenge Grifo XS, 1 pair Grifo 32, 1 pair Limus (I use the Grifo 32 way more often). I even sometimes use Mud 2 for certain courses or for the pitbike.

Train and race on the same tires.
Specialized Trigger, Challenge Fango 32, Challenge Limus 33 depending on conditions. All tubular.

I train/race on Schwalbe Rocket Rons. RoRo's are the bomb!
I have been trying out Clement PDX tubies, but have been constantly washing out on asphalt.
I guess I have gotten used to the Schwalbes.

Train: clincher Racing Ralphs if I'm multi-surface riding. I'd rather wear out a clincher than a tubular...
Train CX only: FMB SSC* RR Grifo Ft
Race: Conti 'Mud' RR Fango Ft
Backup backup wheel: Tufo Dry 32**

*The FMB died a horrible death this weekend. Sliced completely thru the tread. Needs replacing
** Haven't actually ridden the Dry 32 yet. Tomorrow... Just glued it on recently

Hi!
i'm using for training:
Challenge Limus open tubular ( most of the time )
Also schwalbe cx comp, for combined road and cross training.
Race:
FMB SSC tubular - for allround conditions.
FMB SSC SPRINT tubular - for dry/icy conditions
FMB super mud! for muddy conditions! i love thoseee they are grippy like velcro! i can really recommend these.
+ FMB durability is really good, i raced 4 seasons on my set of FMB SSC tubulars. That were like 40 cross races.
Greetings,
Hanos
