    …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

    I'd go for the Marathon as I keep damaging sidewalls on the Paselas

    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.
