Sure, Pasela's are real sweet. I have 26x1.75 Pasela's TG on my loaded touring bike when it is not or only lightly loaded. They are more fragile (so bring a spare tube and tire lifters). If you also want to ride fireroads etc, why not go for the Aramid belted 37 mm (the widest there is)? Wide is not necessarily slow, and certainly not with these tires. The 26x2 Marathons I have for bad roads, and heavier loads. Willem
