I ride Pasela 32s on my around town bike. This is a bike that I put maybe 500 miles a year on going to the grocery and the coffee shop. I love those Paselas and have had no flats in the last year or so, which is about the limit of my memory. This is a fascinating discussion, however. This thread is exactly why I like this list.
