Planning to ride from Swansea to Cheltenham in two days next week on Sustrans 47... it looks like there is a fair amount of fire road and some bridleways, so I can't run full slicks.
Can someone recommend me some fast rolling semi-slicks?
The only ones I can see on nextdaytyres are Schwalbe Sammy Slicks, are they any good?

WTB Vulpine.
how about [url= http://www.wiggle.co.uk/continental-double-fighter-ii-mountain-bike-tyre/ ]Conti double fighter 2s[/url]? they are the cheapest I've seen so far

ok, vulpines look pretty good - much lighter than the contis, but still cheaper than schwalbe.
Maxxis wormdrive I have a pair here for £15posted if you want them.
i like the vulpine on the back of my 29er in summer. double fighters are slicker than some....
i would be tempted to run slicks 26 X 2.0. running them at 30 psi they will be fine on bridleways and pump back up for tarmac sections.
docstar, too late - I would have had those off you, but I've already ordered some sammy slicks.
Thought about getting vulpines, but I had some bad experiences with WTB tyres in the distant past, so I was slightly biased against them..
DMR Moto - more an allround fast rolling tyre, has massive volume so gives the bike a great feel. cheap wire bead job so a good option for a hack /commuter bike.
Maxxis High roller semi slick.
Schwalbe Marathon Racers? Schwalbe Big Apples?
