Patrick, I recently went to the Soma New Express tire in 700 X 32, and have found it to be an exceptionally smooth-running tire. Soma lists a 26 x 1.25 version in stock. The difference in suppleness of ride between this tire and a Pasela TG is quite obvious to me. The bike feels like a different machine. The nature of my commute, and my unerring ability to ride straight over sparkly bits regardless of how much room and warning is given, assures the flat protection in the new tires would be tested. It has not been found wanting.
