Bikes: In service - FSIR Spin 3.0, Bannard Sunny minivelo, Dahon Dash Altena folder. Several others in construction or temporarily decommissioned.

I'd look into Maxxis...

...DTH, Grifter or Torch first.

Which is to say that 20"/406/(briefly)451 is where I found my groove. I've always found everything from 26" upwards rather awkward and cumbersome to handle, and nowhere near as nimble.

Or maybe it's just the kid in me that never grew out of that blue BMX with the checkered pads and (probably knockoff - can't remember) Oakley grips.

That, and the fact that I could easily find a 406 tire and tube (brand/quality notwithstanding) at any corner shop in an emergency, is what seals the deal for me.

Before this gets too dark, though, how about those Tiogas?
