[RBW] Re: Compass tires for Sam

[Davey Two Shoes]

I ride Lou Lou on my trek 460 conversion and Barlow pass on my Vaya. 
They're both extra light and theyre both awesome. They're actually super 
tough too. I mean I take my vaya on seriously rocky single track reserved 
for mountain bikes and the tires have never given up on me.

[RBW] Re: Compass tires for Sam

[Surlyprof]

John,

There was a posting on the blug about a year ago of a black Sam they outfitted 
with 42mm Rock 'n Roads and fenders.  Mark or Brian had to actually cut the 
fenders in to parts and attch part of it to the front rack to clear the brake 
bridges.  Seemed challenging to me.  I am able to easily get 40mm Mondials 
under fenders, though.

Richard,

After seeing your Sam I have to say, "right back at you".  Love the way you 
decked out the sage Sam.

Carla,

The fenders are the SKS fenders Riv sells (p50s maybe?).  They look more silver 
because I ran a strip of the 3M reflective tape up the back of each fender.  
You just have to use a large hole punch to cut out where the rivets are 
located.  Visibity is great with that stuff.

[RBW] Re: Compass tires for Sam

[John Stowe]

Does anyone have experience with both the Compas Snoqualmie (or Barlow) and the 
Soma Shikoro? I have been thinking of going wider than the current 38's on My 
Sam and the Shikoro 42mm seemed like the right call, but now I'm wondering 
about the Snoqualmie too. The main difference (besides a tiny bit of width) 
seems to be a Kevlar layer in the Shikoro. 

I haven't pulled the trigger yet because I would need to put on bigger fenders, 
but with the load in the rear child seat getting heavier and a mostly unpaved 
tour (Erie Canal) coming up this summer, it seems like it might be time.

Thanks,
John

[RBW] Re: Compass tires for Sam

[John McClusky]

I love my Barlow Pass Extralights.  The Bon Jon Pass tires came out right 
after I bought them and I was disappointed that I missed the opportunity 
for thinner and lighter (last road tires I had bought were 23mm on a 
Bianchi).  Now that I've adjusted to my "fast road tires" being 38mm wide, 
I really appreciate having the extra cushion.  I don't think I'd notice a 
ride difference in the weight.

Re: [RBW] Re: Compass tires for Sam

['Tim' via RBW Owners Bunch]

I was out on my Hilsen with Barlowe Pass extralights. What an amazing ride. 
There were rumble strips on the shoulder and I purposely ran over them just to 
marvel at how the Compass tires just make them a complete non-issue.

I'm hoping with the stock tires the longboard cream fenders work. I am looking 
for a Compass tire or? That works with fenders hopefully.

Get that for the HIllborne. I am next time I get new tires (now that I know 
this). Upgrade from Barlow. This new info has caused me to change my 
recommendation.

Not Compass but Grand Bois, I use Hetres. I had to remove my fenders as 
they were to close for comfort. If you are using fenders you might want to 
add that info as it might change the recommendations.

My Sam runs 650b, Loup Loup Pass, 38 on the front and a Soma B Line 38 on 
the rear. I ride on similar surfaces. Quite happy with the setup.
