Re: Gravel tyre that plays nice with Stans rims
I've happily fitted tubeless Nano 40's onto my Stans Alpha400 rims, set them up tubeless no problem. Have you actually tried fitting them on the Iron Cross (plenty of washing up liquid and a tubeless inflator perhaps)?

Re: Chilterns route advice
The others have mentioned Berkhamstead. I agree this a good base, nice pubs, food, etc. I stopped there at the Mad Squirrel last Friday before an after work bivy. You can then go into the Ashridge Estate near Ivinghoe beacon for a stealth bivy and then have breaky at the lovely Brownlow Cafe larsma...

Re: Chilterns route advice
Where do you want to start from and how far do you want to go? I live in Berkhamsted and have dozens of routes in the area.

Re: One for those in the know...
I've got both, (Riddlers 700c45's) and to be honest they are both excellent and have surprisingly similar performance, if you take into account the different volumes.
