Also -- one thing you might consider Anne: the Pasala (non-tourguards)
are relatively cheap compared to most tires... so experimenting with a
bit more width may be worth the gamble.

Jan Heine published an interesting article a few months ago in Bicycle
Quarterly about the relationship b/t wheel diamter and tire width. The
general conclusion was that as the wheel got smaller in diamter, wider
tires felt "righter."

His conclusions matched my experience -- for 26" wheels, I can't find
a better tire than the 1.75" Pasala -- rolls fast and cushy. The
volume makes it really handy also for any kind of non-paved adventures
that pop up.

In any case -- 1.25, 1.5, 1.75: the non-tourguard Pasala is a great
26" tire and a great value. I'd do a commercial.
