Also have these and loving them on my LHT : )

I can't really tell a difference between 700c and 26" wheels unless I'm starting to go up a hill, the 700c's always felt like they held their momentum a little better, but the bike I was riding those in was almost 10 lbs less than my LHT. ; ) So I don't buy that anybody could tell a difference on a equivalent bike. Maybe trivial differences, but nothing worth debating over.
