Bikes: specialized crossroads hybrid 2006 Raleigh Cadent 2 1971 Schwinn Varsity, 1972 Schwinn Continental, 1977 Schwinn Volare (frame)

Here is what I did (hope its gonna work)

I just installed 26"X 1.00" tires on my commuter which is a Specialized hybrid. I had 1.5" on it and wanted less resistance and since it wouldn't take 700cc tires I put these on. Seems to ride pretty good and there is definitely less resistance so far as I could tell in a roll around the block. Tomorrow will be the test as to whether its going to help me on my commute but this new tires are inflated to 115 psi as opposed to the 80 psi on the other ones. My bike has fork shocks and seat post shock so I don't think its gonna be too bad ( I hope) will chime in tomorrow and let you know the results.
