I have a pair of 32m borrough cx's you can have. well ridden but plenty if life in them.
More for hard packed cx than wet slipps stuff, so perfect for this time of year.

Actually they are the same tires but not the set that came with the bike, I acquired a second set from a friend of a friend who also had a tricross but swapped them out for chunkier tires.

Moved out of galway last September, too lazy to change my location.

They are wired so postage would be fierce awkward.

The joys of rubber! Just had a look on Ebay there and schwalbes are very cheap

Can decide between the cx pro or the cx comp

I've a set of Specialized Houffalize CX Cyclocross tyres (700x32c). They're the wire bead version. I think they're brand new but I'm not 100% sure! I got them as part of a shed clearout deal when I was buying some wheels. Looking for €20. Dublin 18.

Again i would need postage to Galway if that can be arranged?

Being wire beads they'd be a bit awkward and pricey to post. I could Parcel Motel them for a fiver?

Aragh just checked up on my closest parcel.motel is nowhere near where I work or anything. For the sake of a few euro the schwalbes are surely a better bet
