    Excellent thanks, is it a permanent solution or just something to tide me over until the 1.6 gets here?

    If they fitted your tyre size, it would say on the box. Dont be suprised if you have issues with it.

    You can get away with a lot regarding tube sizes, I have used a 700x18-23 road tyre in a cyclocross tyre before in a pinch. Not ideal but it worked fine until I had a chance to swap it.

    Well that seems perfect anyway, thanks for the help all.

    Got one of these on the way to replace it:

    Although now that I see how well a slightly larger tyre seems to fit Im tempted to go with Dr Sludge:
