Fair enough, it's just that I tried a 26mm folding Panaracer on the A319 and had a world of hurt trying to get it to seat properly. Given that Mavic took the time to put a sticker on there suggesting I didn't I gave up on the idea. The same tyre worked fine on my OpenPro on the Fixie. I'd also have to agree with other comments re the weight difference as I found it very noticeable. It's a good rim but I just don't see it as comparable to an OpenPro, if it works for you then go for it.
