Also does adding cyclocross tires to my old road bike make it a cyclocross bike? what else is it missing?
measure the distance in millimeters of clearence you have between the tire and the frame, the total on left and right will be how much wider atire you can put on, i believe cyclocross tires start at around 700x35 or so
