Woops, I transposed the 'c'. The official demarcation is "Kenda Kontender 700x26c".
I'm going to get the Topeak rack, since it is so highly regarded. I'm going to stick to the SKS Commuter set because they are almost $20 cheaper than the Cascadiasans and are also highly rated. Thank you all once again for the suggestions. First with choosing a bike, now with accessories. I think the next modification will be to the pedals. My foot slipped off several times yesterday, and since only one side has teeth, it took me a few moments of looking down to get back into position while still in motion. I may have been able to get away with it on a bike path, but I don't think that would fly in actual traffic.
