Yup... a bit of research (talking with other cyclists and measuring tyres)... of course it is mm... why they say "c" instead of "mm" though, I have no idea...

I'm gonna try this!!!!!Okay, here's what you do with your hybrid: knock a little off the tire inflation (but watch for potholes - you're asking for pinch flats), maladjust the brakes so they drag **just** a little, put a couple of gallons of water somewhere on the bike, and go find a headwind.
Ride with that bad boy for three weeks. Then pump up the tires all the way, adjust the brakes, take the water off... you'll blow by lots of people :-)
