Sorry if this subject has been covered before, this is my first post, and I did try the Search facility.
My daughter's just bought a Raleigh Siren MTB from eBay which is fitted with Raider 54x559 (26x1.95) MTB tyres. Chunky great things. As she will almost never ride off road, I intend to swop the tyres for road tyres.
Now a few weeks ago I did the same to my wife's Marin MTB and fitted Schwalbe City Jet 40x559 (26x1.50) and these seem fine, and easier for her on the road.
My question - Can I fit even thinner (narrower tyres) to my daughter's bike? The rims are marked Rigida AS26FL 20x559. Halfrauds suggest that would be going too far.
Thank you.
