Very cool! Did you get a 0, 1, or 2? I think you'll love it.

So what you did make total sense to me, ENJOY!!
Thanks! I actually already went back to the 25mm tires, so I'm getting great experience swapping them. The reason is that my dad was in town, and I wanted to ride with him. With the 32mm dirt friendly rubber, the Escape just can't keep up with my road bike at all on the street. With the 25mm, its not nearly as bad, and we were able to ride together. I need to get some tire tools so my fingers don't have to do all the work. I just can never remember when I'm at my LBS.
