Im trying to do more road riding, but i have a hybrid bike that has 26 rim and some wide tires which don't help with the rolling resistance.

Anyone know of the smallest size and fastest tire i can get on a bike like this? I dont want to spend the money on a road bike.. much too expensive, i have no idea how bikes have gotten so expensive.

Im looking around performancebike.com and nashbar.com for some inexpensive tires.

Any help would be appreciated.

Id actually like to put a 700cc rim on there and see if i could put road tires. would this be possible?
