26" slicks for Commuting?
In the next week, I am expecting to buy a late 90's Specialized Rockhopper from someone on Craigslist. The person selling it says that he hardly rode it when he got it, and that it's stock. Since it's a MTB, I'm expecting knobby tires, not suitable for mostly pavement use. I use 700*25 Conti Gatorskins on my current bike, and would like something similar to use on this new bike. They should be wider, I have had issues with skinny tires. I was just wondering what people use on their converted MTBs, when they commute. If someone has one of those 26" LHTs, I'd like to know what they use also. I think Schwalbe Fat Franks look nice, but I don't know. They look like they could fit my needs, does anyone use them?
