Hello,
Another question for you all. I have a CX bike that is great, great fun to ride. It has replaced my old, broken FS mountain bike for use on trails around here. The shortcoming of the CX bike in this scenario is tire volume. Even at about 40psi, I routinely bottom out on roots and rocks. Fortunately, tubeless is awesome in this application and I've had no issues with flats. I do have concerns for the long term health of my rims. The tires are getting worn, so I'm thinking about what to replace them with.
Current tires are WTB CrossBoss, 700x35. No complaints about their performance or durability whatsoever. Supposedly, the bike with take up to a 40 width tire, but I think that will be really tight. What I'm looking for is something with the performance and durability of a CrossBoss in about a 38. Any thoughts about what might fit this description?
Thanks for your help
Scott
