Hi Tom- I have been running the Continental 42's for several months. I bot them from Riv and they were said to actually measure 38 mm which I found to be true. I have liked them - mainly riding on roads but with a few wild rides on gravel, dirt, frozen dirt etc. My only problem was finding fenders to mount and ended up with SKS Velo 65 Cross fenders. I could not find them in the states but had them shipped from Europe They are a bit ugly but very functional for the Portland weather and are quick release for the sunny days. I originally tried some Bruce Gordon Rock N' Roads which I loved but could not solve the fender problem so they found a home with another list member.
Hope this is helpful - Dennis in PDX On Tuesday, June 4, 2013 7:43:37 AM UTC-7, Tom Harrop wrote: > > Don't know if I'm helping or hindering here, but Continental has a 42 mm > 'cyclocross' tyre with some side knobs. > Here<http://www.conti-online.com/www/bicycle_de_en/themes/cross/cyclocross_speed_en.html>. > > Don't know anything about them. > > I'm also checking out tyres in this category & size range for a planned > (i.e. approved by the better half but currently lacking finance) Hillborne > trail-bike build.
