Last time I checked, there is a lot of 700c slicks to choose from. That is of course you're using it for commuting. If you're having to go to Mal-Wart to replace a tire, then maybe you should of bought quality tires from the get go. Or just carry a spare (folding bead).

2010 Dawes Dead Eye. It's disc ready (front/rear), but the hubs aren't. I had to replace the cheap @$$ stock wheels with some hand built from BWW. Sold some parts and replaced with better stuff.
