It makes absolute total sense that you need different saddles for different
riding positions. The people who don't like it either don't fit it or are
misapplying it. On another board a guy was bad-mouthing his B17 which he
moved from road race bike to road race bike over several years and
btw, there are a few great uses for crabon. If you have never kayaked with
a Werner bent-shaft paddle, you owe it to yourself to try it. Just holding
it, your arms automatically start pedaling.

What if you feel like the Brooks works better on some bikes than others?
Then you really put the possessive in your mileage may vary...?

I have more than one bike so I can have more than one philosophy
represented. Compass on the Gofast bikes and Rivendell on the Just Ride
bikes.

I have one bike with GB Cypres tires on it, and another with the unreinforced
JBs on it. They seem quite similar to me, though the JBs do look much bigger
than the Cypres. I think the different appearance must be due to rim width and
700c/650b differences, because they measure out to nearly
Grant's copy is humor plus brilliant marketing - the only people who will
take exception with it are the people who will never buy these tires
anyway.
I carry a Jack Green for a folded spare - it weighs nothing.

Dave's joke was the claim that Riv has done extensive testing to prove
decidedly that the Roll-y Poll-y is the fastest and most comfortable tire
available on the internet. That was a joke. Riv doesn't care about
rolldown tests and statistical analysis. They ride what they make and they
make
I tried riding on the internet but my 40 mm tires won't fit. Too much
bandwidth?

I don't get the joke (was it a joke?). But I am not annoyed.
But I still say those checker patterns are very cool.

Bill is pretty accurate there, but I think the truth is nothing is
objective in cycling. It's all subjective. And that's OK. We make our
choices for the function we desire.

Ron, so were you joking above or just using empirical as a synonym for
objective? Clearly you don't mean that there is NOTHING objective. My
top tube is objectively 28.6mm in diameter. I objectively rode my road
bike 3.6 miles from the car repair shop to my office. I subjectively

You are spot on with your analysis though I think that the original copy
has some barbs directed in a very specific direction.

Grant and Jan seem to share a sincere mutual admiration. That being said,
trying to sell tires to a community of cyclists that get the Rivendell
philosophy but also get the BQ/Compass philosophy might tend to get a bit
exasperating (if you aren't Compass). Compass promises tires that are
