Mavic Ksyrium - cyclocross tyres?
As the subject suggests...I've got a hold of a set of Mavic Ksyrium SL wheels, will I be able to fit cyclocross tyres to them or will they be too narrow?

The brakes should be hot on a descent. If they're hot on the way up it should raise suspicions.

And because they are so likely to flip and are heavier they have to have stronger and wider A pillars which reduces visibility.

I've successfully run CX tyres on Ksyriums - quite narrow rims so not best for fatter tyres e.g. 35mm at low pressures. Make sure the tyre bead fits securely, sloppy fit could mean the tyre coming off under pressure.
Magic, cheers southseabythesea
Looks like I'll be okay then
Mavic recommends tyre sizes: 19 to 32 mm for these rims.
