Chris, I didn't say I want 35mm wheel but I would like a bike in wich it would be possible. Normally, l travel on normal paved road with 700/32-35cm tires. I don't race ! I travel slowly, but I would like to reduced energy lost when it is possiblle. I'm agree with you : tire quality and features are most important factors.

Your point about 26 wheels on small bike like mine is interesting, I understand the advantage, specially with fender !
