You need to hunt down a set of the Primo Comet 26x1.5. I came into owning a set of these through the purchase of an ebay tandem. They are dirt cheap, about $25, and held in high regard by the recumbent set. I have moved them arond on a few bikes and they are fast and smooth as pillows, I dream of them in 700C at the 26"price.
