<< SJS Cycles in the UK lists a Schwalbe HS130 in this size for 12.99GBP. You might try Schwalbe's North American distributor to see if he carries or can get them, as this would save a lot of $$ on freight.

BTW, for you Francophiles out there, Schwalbe also list a couple of 650B tires in their catalog.

I've dealt with Klaus several times, and he ships quickly and reasonably. I don't know of any US source for Schwalbe, but he willingly ships to the US from his facility in Canada. >>

Should I say "Chris sent me?" :) But seriously folks, Chris (or anyone) have you examined this Schwalbe tire? We are talking about 26 x 1 1/4", right? Is it relatively slim/ skinny/"hp" compared to the Taiwan models available? What about compared to that all black Michelin also from SJS?
