Yes, 700c wheels limit so much the purpose of having a demountable (i.e., S&S coupled) touring bike.

26"-wheeled rando-touring bike in its S&S case. Pics taken at my friend's house in San Diego.

For the next pic I removed the front wheel to appreciate the front rack (lower left hand corner) and fenders (lying on the right side toward the bottom.) The only thing missing is a rear rack like this Racktime fold-it which will definitely fit at the bottom of case once taken apart. Everything came in at 38 lb (17 Kg.)

Flew with it and here it is fully built at its home in Mexico:
