I recently moved to the city and have really gotten into doing laps around the park on my Marin Eldridge Grade MTB. It would be nice to have thinner tires with less rolling resistance, so I would like to:
a. put a pair of slicks or "city" tires on my mtb rims (Mavic X139)
OR
b. buy a new wheelset (plus cassette) with thinner tires, so I could change the wheels between street and mtb at a whim.
What size wheelsets/tires would I need to look for in either case? My current tires are 26x1.95, and I don't see a size, per se, printed on my current wheelset - all I know is that they are 26".
Thanks in advance...
