I used to do semi-long road rides (30-50 miles) on an XC hardtail before I bought a road bike. Just used my regular knobby tires because it was still primarily my mountain bike. Then for a while, I used it as a commuter to get to work (~14 miles roundtrip). Still used knobbies because I was trying to sell it at the time, and had a road bike by that point. After I sold that, I didn't have a mountain bike that was really that great for road riding, though for super short commutes (>3 miles or so), I have my 24", which I use to take advantage of little ledges and stairs along the way.
