Eh'Up
I'm in need of some 29er shape slick rubber.
Budget is of course as cheap as possible, but rolling resistance is a priority (so i'll pay extra to go faster.)

I've been looking at roadie tyres too; does anyone know if I could get away with running a set?
These are the rims they'll be shod to if that helps.

Any advice greatly appreciated :D

    I've got a CX bike with 18mm rims and 25mm Continental Gatorskins on.

    No problems width-wise, and the tyres have been very resilient, had another pair on my road bike for 3000+ miles without a 'problem'.

    Cheers Bails; just to clarify, is 18mm is the inner rim width?

    I'll look in to the Gatorskins too, cheers. :D
