I ended up returning them and getting the Richie Tom Slicks. They mounted perfectly the first time. Thanks for all the suggestions.

What size Richie's did you get? I was thinking about possibly getting a pair of the 1" next, but I am kinda worried about those being too skinny and me not being able to run over things like I do on the MTB.

I got the 1.4 size.

They seem fine. I don't think I'd go with anything smaller though.

I currently have 1.5's and I think I am going to 1.25's next. I think I'll just leave the super skinny tires for the road bike. Thanks for the update on the tires!
