Hi
This question has probably been asked before so I apologise in advance!
The problem I have is, my bike currently has 26 1.90 size knobbly tyres and I would like to change them to hybrids as I mostly ride on canal tow paths and tar roads. I can only see 26 1.95 size tyres online from my local decathlon store. Would this size fit my bike ok?

    thanks for the info, popped into my local decathlon store and picked these tyres up yesterday. they do make a big difference to my style of biking especially on tarmac. also seamed alot easier on the towpaths but there was one scarey moment when my bike turned to jelly.i was trying to avoid going through a big puddle on towpath and the edge of the puddle was very muddy.felt the bike slide a bit.hence decided just to go right through the middle with the rest .
