My friend has convinced me to give CX a go this winter so i need some CX tyres for my Diverge!

Has anyone had much success with this? I currently have the stock 30mm tyres on it, but looking at the rear there does not seem to be that much clearance for a particularly big knobbly tyre.

so if you are running knobbly tyres on your diverges, what are you running?

A bit of research suggests a maximum of 35mm but I get the feeling that is very ambitious!

We bought 35mm tyres for our Diverge fleet being used for the Rat Race C2C this year. They didn't fit.

was thinking of just getting a couple of these and just getting on with it!

I am not an expert on this but would I run a CX set up like my MTB? Nice grippy tyre upfront, then something a bit faster on the back?
