Doing my bit.

I "discovered" pasellas when the owner of a bike shop I go to in a nearby city drug out a pair of 1" non tour guard in 27". He said that he had been hanging on to them only because I was the only person in the world he knew of who could use them. Really liked them, so started buying them in larger sizes for other bikes.
Funny thing, the 1" tire looks about half the width of the 1-1/4". Of course, they are on different rims, but the difference is amazing.
An old guy around my area likes them because he claims they give the closest to a tubular ride for the money than anything else he has tried, not sure about how right that is, but it made me feel better about not spending to much on my tires.
