Skinny Gum Wall Clinchers
Does anybody know where to get gum wall tires (clinchers) in smaller sizes like 23c? I've been doing a lot of looking, and all I can find are touring style tires that are 27mm+. I found some 25 mm's but they have deep grooves like they're all-weather/terrain and I'm looking for something a little more slick, like a standard 23c road tire. Thanks.

cafe de velo has Wolber SL19 Coton 700c 20-622 wheels. thin and no tread slick. i ride em and like em. great road tires but aren't too durable for skid stops. i don't think they're up on their website though. so you mite have to mention them in a separate email on their site. i'm moving to SLO next month and i work very part time at CDV so i could most likely bring up a bundle if you're interested.

Thanks for the help guys. The Veloflex's look like my best bet.
