Garth: are your metros 559 or 622? Given the dearth of decent rolling 559 tires in anything wider than 23 mm (the Pasela 32s are the best I've seen, but not very good, IMO -- and they flat too easily, to boot) I'd be interested in considering them for my 559/571-wheeled Riv Roads. I'd also be interested in comments comparing the Metros with Paselas.
