...oh - and the moon on a stick please!

I want to put some slicks on my 29er for winter but the rims are 30mm wide (outside width).

I don't need extra puncture protection or anything like that as they'll just be used for night-time training.

Panaracer Pasela 37mm. Relatively light, feel nice. I prefer to BAs

2nd paselas, or schwalbe marathon supreme. Big apples are pretty hefty.

Cheers folks - gone for the Sport Contacts (had to get from Wiggle though, On-One out of stock).

And 550gm seems to be light for this type of tyre!! Most seem to be heavily armoured touring types, some knocking on 1kg.
