Was the switch to 26" wheels deliberate or happenstance? FWIW, I've found in the 559X32 mm Kojacks a very nice alternative to the ditto Paselas, which gave me a lot of flats and seemed very sensitive to pressure (and which had delicate sidewalls). Not sure if, were I to do it all over again, I would choose 26" for my road bikes but, having done so, don't have many regrets. But I'm a 29er convert and the Fargo is the bee's knees. My dream would be a Legolas that takes 3" wide tires.
