The Tom Ritchie Tom Slick comes in a 26 x 1.4. I had the 1" version and found them to roll very well, truly like a "skinny racing tire". Not as flat resistant as a Schwalbe, though. I've have a 1-1/4" Forte (Performance house brand) Slick City ST on the back of my recumbent. Actual width is around 33-35 mm IIRC. It rolls fairly well and hasn't flatted, but I generally only ride the 'bent on a multi-use path so it doesn't see glass and such. They're only $12 on sale, you could buy two sets for the price of one Schwalbe Mara Supreme!.
