I agree about the fit of Conti Contact tires. I am using them right now on my 26" commuter, and they have a great ride on the rough parts of my commute. They have great grip, and no flats. They are quite difficult, however, to get on/off the rim.
How does your ride with the Armadillo compare with the Continental Contact?
