thanks for the response, JonnyV. i'll definitely look into those. but yes, ptle, im looking for some road bike tires to put on the cyclocross. i figure that it will be cheaper and my bike is a pretty decent one, so no need to buy a completely new road bike. in terms of budget, will i be able to get a good set for 200-300? ive looked a bit on ebay...are wheels something that are safe to buy off ebay?
