Tempted to pick up some Hutchinson Top Slick Gold tires from Nashbar on close out. They are 26x1.2 or 26x1 - will this work really work on my current rims, and what size tube will I need to get to fit in these suckers. My rims are Mavic x223 . Seems very narrow to fit on mountain bike rims.

They should work fine. I have Richie Tom slicks on my commuter and they have been trouble free. ;)

Nikos,

I just put the same tires on my ZAC 19s. They are great.

I have had Specialized Fat Boy 1.25 on my mountain bike for a long time. Work great.

I put performance 1.1s on my 26" RynoLite rims - seemed a bit tight to put on, but worked just fine
