I just wondered what people were riding on? I'm on 32mm, seems like a good compromise between speed and comfort on the road, but I'm not that heavy.
What size tyres on your hybrid?

Continental Contacts 700 x 37c. They were on when I bought the bike and have been fantastic. No unexpected deflationary events in over 1000 miles. And thinner tyres wouldn't necessarily make for a faster bike. Besides, they really soak up the bumps and give a very comfy ride.

I've heard good reports about Continental Contacts, one for my list when the time eventually comes to replace my Bontragers.

26 x 1.5.
I actually wished I fitted some wider tyres so I can run them at even lower pressure, my back and wrists ache from all the bumps on my commute.

Bought the bike with 32 Armadillo's.......put on gatorskins 23's last night and havent got chance to try them yet.
Bought a hybrid rather than a road bike with thoughts of going on canal paths and trails more with the nipper but use the wifes MTB so thought I'd stick a faster tyres on.

It came with 35s, I put on 28s then tried to 32s. I think I preferred the 28s out of all.

Mine came with 37s, and I swapped them for 35s when I moved to Marathons. I run 32s on my tourer and the ride is not massively different.
