I bought a used, non-suspension, Univega mountain bike off of craigslist
and the rims have an interior width of about 25mm (this was from the
time before mountain bikes came with narrow rims).
I want to get some slickish tires for it. According the Sheldon's site,
I shouldn't use a tire narrower than about 44mm (about 1.75"), and I'd
prefer to not go over 1.75" either.
I'd like something kevlar belted, and with some tread, but I don't want
to spend more than $20 per tire (the bike only cost me $25), so I may
have to give up the kevlar.
I haven't had much luck in my search, even when I up the price of the
tires. So far I've found:
Bravo Sports_variflex, 26 X 1.75 $8.89

Any other suggestions. This bike will be lightly used, mainly on street
and multi-use paths (it's not for me).
