Though not for everyone, we sure get a much better ride on Compass offerings.
They have a two in 26".
Based on Heine's blog, where in one post he mentions
making a 26 with a superlight casing and then shaving the knobs for his "endurance allroad" bike; and another in which he mentions
visiting Panaracer about new tires; it's a good bet they will have superlight slicks in fat 26" soon.
