    As the title suggests I'm looking for recommendations on decent clincher for my 29er disk wheels
    I've seen a few on CRC but have no experience of any of them
    Cheers

    For racing? Commuting? Gravel? Mud?

    After using tubs for cx, and if I was buying a set of wheels specifically for cx, I wouldnt buy a set of clinchers. Massive difference (imho) riding tubs v clinchers in the mud.

    Also a fan of tubs, but use clinchers for training and would recommend Specialized Terras or Clement PDXs. Both great in mud, but also good for all round use.

    yeah - for training I use clinchers. Old set that I had lying around. They also act as my spare wheels. Running wolf racing mud tyres.

    Have heard that but don't have the budget for wheels. I'm converting a hybrid into a cross bike hence the question re tyres

    ah - i misunderstood and thought you were looking for wheels!

    I use schwalbe Racing Ralph for cx training and commuting to work. I used Schwalbe Rocket Rons which are more aggressive in CX race in Ballawley Park last sunday and found them excellent.

    Clement PDX's or Challenge Grifo open for the mud or Racing Ralph's for most other things...
