I bought the 26" tyre so I could train on my hardtail and watch DVDs when the weather is grim. It's a good enough idea but you'll probably need a spare wheel, because a quick tyre change isn't an option. I broke a tyre lever trying to get this tyre on. It was a real struggle, enough so to dissuade me from trying it when I have less than an hour to spare. You'll probably also need a smaller inner tube because at 26 x 1.25, this is a lot smaller than most MTB tyres, so my spare tubes were ridiculously oversized in it. I now think I should have bought an MTB slick, which would have been cheaper and would have been OK for my commute, too.
