I am having a suprisingly hard time finding a 26 X 1.75 slick for use with a stationary trainer. Plenty of street training slicks, but nothing for a trainer. I'm using a "slick" the bike shop gave me with the trainer, but it's got enough tread to be noisier than it should be. Any one see something like this? Thanks

The knobby sides never get close to the roller.

For trainers, its not tyre size, its pressure. Buy a Conti 26x1 GP for the trainer wheel. Inflate it to 100psi, I have one here on a MTB wheel, it is perfect. http://www.conti-online.com/generator/www/de/en/continental/bicycle/themes/tires/mtb/grand_prix_mtb/grand_prix_mtb_en.html
