Regarding peel that doesn't compost-- I don't know what that would be! I cannot say that I've ever had problems with breaking down citrus peel of any kind. We usually sift our compost at the end of a cycle, and we pull out any organic bits, usually sticks, corn cobs, etc, that haven't yet broken down and give them another round in the next compost pile. I have not found that citrus needs a "second cycle." Thanks for your comments!

I was actually trying to find out if some peel, that of the clementine in particular, is less compostable than other. You've answered that for the clementine but is it just a misremembered fict on my part that some peel does not compost? Brilliant stuff and beautifully organised.
