    I like my kevlar tires too much to switch, but I love the Hulk Hogan flames, and the reflective thing is irresistible! So then I thought-- reflective paint?

    God help my bikes the day I figure out how to paint 'em well.

    This thread is hilarious

    Scar ROCKS! Man, I have the worst case of tire envy!

    See here: The same tire for $15! The only problem is these are even wider - 26x2.1

    The same store also sells 24 inch and 26x2

    The original link for 2.6x1.9 is tempting that Catriona provided... ummmm I am assuming this would slow The Wanderer down though - currently I have 26x1.5 tires. Would noticeably this slow me down on a long ride?

    Catrin - pay attention to the tread pattern, the ones I linked to were semi-slick -not too bumpy in the center, but a lot of these tires are mountain bike with knobs everywhere. (I didn't check your link)

    Scar is pretty awesome. And if I buy myself a commuter bike for graduate school, well, I might have to get one of those teapot bells! (And the tires! The tires!)
    At least I don't leave slime trails.
