Are you saying you want a narrower tire?

http://WWW.junkyrustybikes.net have these in 26x1.95 for $20 per pair

Or if you want even narrower they have them in 1.50 as well.


Or if you wanted a wider slick check out 3G Bikes' Hoggy-G at 24x3.45

My personal favorite is Tioga City Slickers 26x1.95"
Very rounded sidewall to tread transition, quality rolling and bead up
Image


You can match them to 1.25" and 1.5" sizes too. I have many pair (to my wife's dismay :lol:)
Image


CSWest bikes has them:
http://www.cswestbikes.com/servlet/the- ... 1.5/Detail

Otherwise Kenda K838 have 26x 1.95 for about the same price
They have a wider sidewall to tread transition
IMO they don't bead up as well or ride as smooth

Hope this helps
Good Luck

You bet, Glad it helped :D
CSwest also carries the 1.25 size like the front tire on the 'Liner
Another source is Niagara Cycle Works but the must be sold out of the 1.95
BTW the 1.25 weighs in at 390g
1.50 weighs in at 530g
1.95 weighs in at 780g
They all are 66 TPI
Good luck
