HI,
I was wondering if anyone knows what size tyres I can put on my 26" x 1.5" rims. I want some Schwalbe Marathons for touring on but i'm not sure how thin I can go.

I read somewhere that you shouldn't go thinner than the rim itself (so 1.5" being the smallest), but I've seen MTB tyres with 1.25" tyres on.

Also, what size would be the equivalent of a 32c road tyre?

Any advise would be cool.
Got to get up to get down
