Yeah, if Continental weren't hiding their collective head in their collective pants, they'd mark the 26" Gator Skins as 26 x 1.125" to conform with the rest of the reality.
Moozh: those tires are a bit narrower than I ran on my MTB when I put slicks on it. I ran 26 x 1.25" Tioga City Slickers, pumped up to 100psi, but then I'm 6-foot-4 and 215 pounds with my winter insulation on. If you're lighter than that and on relatively good roads, those tires won't kill you.
