Update and clarification Re: Source for nice fat 27" slicks?

Jim Martin 27 September 2007 17:52:55
 
Thanks to all of you who have responded. I have followed up on your
various suggestions and I am getting the sense that the largest tire
available in 27" is going to be a 27 x 1 1/4. I really wish I could get
something closer to 26x1.6" Conti's I have on a tandem (I incorrectly
linked to the 26x1.3 version in the original post). What I really want
is tire that rolls nicely, turns nicely, and is fat enough to act as
cushy suspension.

Soooo.... looks like if I want fat and smooth I'll need to switch out to
700c wheel set. Easy enough I guess but I wanted to keep the touring
bike in original trim.

Any possibility there is a big fat smooth 27" tire out there that no one
has mentioned yet? I have contacts in UK and Australia so they don't
necessarily need to be available in the US.

Thanks again,

Jim

Hello All:
One of my bikes has 27" wheels and I would really like to find some nice
fat slicks for it. Something similar to the Conti Sport Contact (for
reference see
http://aebike.com/p­age.cfm?PageID=30&ac­tion=details&sku=TR9­319).
Anyone know where might find something like that?
Thanks in advance,
Jim

These days I ride the Michelin karbon 700x25 on my regular road bike.
I find that they give the best combination of handling and wear. On
my commuter bike I ride 26 x 2" slicks which are very comfy. My
tandem has mtb wheels and I use the 26x1.6 Conti Sport Contact. Those
are comfy, feel fast, and turn nicely.
The touring bike in question currently wears Chen Shen 27 x 1 1/4
that are almost exactly the same width as my Michelin 700 x 25. They
do not feel comfy nor do the turn nicely. This whole thread is my
attempt to find a tire that will allow me to commute as comfortably
on this bike as on my current fat-tire commuter.

Try the Paselas.
