I think my google-fu was weak, I've now learned to search using the ETRTO number which turned up some more hits, e.g the Smart Sams are listed as 28x1.75 in a few places, not 700c or 29er.</p> <p>Looks like I can get the Sams or Knards for £15/£20 each if I go for wire bead. Just need to find some cash. </p> <p>@chug - I think 33 would be too narrow for what I have in mind, but thanks. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15795#post-205385 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 10:22:45 +0000 Chug 205385@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@Urchaidh I have an unused pair of <a href="http://www.maxxis.com/catalog/tire-258-raze">Maxxis Raze</a> that you are welcome to have. They are 33s, so may be a bit narrow for you.

After recent experiences the mud I've been thinking about some chunkier tyres - 45mm is a reasonable upper limit for my rims and frame.</p> <p>I was hoping to find a 45mm cyclocross tyre but can't find anything. The other option is 29er x 1.75-ish but not having much luck there either. Look like 45mm is too wide for cyclocross and 1.75" is too narrow for MTBs.</p> <p>Anyone got any suggestions or anything useful lying about in the shed for sale or swap.</p> <p>(I believe I'll be able to fit 29er tyres to my 700C rims - any thoughts on that?) </p>
