Re: CX/gravle tyers
I was happy with Stu's mini review and bought some. I've done 775 miles on them with only one puncture in each. No discernable extra drag over the Vittoria touring tyres they replaced but a much smoother ride and feel safer/grippier. Just hope OO are still selling them when I need new ones. My mate has a set and is similarly impressed.

@ Jay... if you're looking for 26" tyres, I have a pair of Shwalbe CX Pro 1.35 laying idle that you're welcome to have. Plenty of grip left on 'em.

Conti CX Speed in a 35mm are good for hardpack and gravel. Leave them on my CX bike pretty much all the time including winter road slogs. Seem to last well (just replaced the rear after 3000 miles) and cheap (£25 ish or £15 if you don't mind a wire bead). They're rubbish at shedding mud but for anything else I like 'em.

Schwalbe Racing Ralph or Smart Sam are good for faster terrain, Rocket Ron is ace in mud. Surprisingly tenacious for such a skinny tyre.
All are light, with thin sidewalls - but I've not had issues yet despite lots of riding.
