Oh yea, I will be using tubes.
Thanks ya'll and may Santa stuff your stockings with shiny things from Chris King.
Panaracer Dart (front wheel) and Smoke (rear wheel). I do not know the exact weight, but they do pretty good in mixed weather conditions. I think the rear-specific wheel helps get traction on muddy hills compared to others.
