Thanks, Joan, for a nice review. Do you happen to know the true inflated tire diameter on either/both of those rims? I'm just wondering how close it is to 26mm. I have a go-fast bike with 25mm tires, and the most I can safely squeeze in there is 26, with no room for anything wider! But I'd love to fit a pair of those Compasses...
