Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.Mr_Christopher

Not sure if this is cool to do in the Texas forum but here goes...I have two pairs of mountain bike tires, nothing fancy mind you, one is from a Trek 820- Trek "Connection" 26 x 1.95. These are black knobbies that have little wear. Also I have a pair of Specialized 26 x 1.95 which are also knobbies and have even less wear. The Specialized have white sidewalls (though not really white, more like very light tan or something).
I want to trade for something more road friendly and sized smaller like 26 x 1.5. I'm trying to fix my wife's old Hard Rock up to make it more accomodating for her.
Again, the tires I have are nothing extraordinary, they're the tires that come on entry level mountain bikes. I figured I'd rather trade them then add them to landfill. If you have use for both pair you can have one or both pair for your road friendly 26 x 1.95s pair.
Also, her Specialized Hard Rock "Ultra" (10 years old?) has a very aggressive geometry which does not suit her well. The handebars are totally flat. I plan to order a higher rise set soon. If you'd interested in trading for her flat bars hit me up on that as well. If I end up buying a pair I'll just offer to give someone her flat ones, no sense in needlessly adding to landfill :-)
