Thanks. Clayton ..that's an excellent tip. I was a little dismayed that I've been getting flats with my McClure Passes, but I have noticed that the tread does pick up small stones and therefore glassetc and I think that's the culprit given that there's no "armour" unlike the Pasela Tourgu

one more thing to add for city riding. The tread is thick enough to resist minor glass shards from puncturing immediately, but they tend to embed themselves in the tires and eventually puncture the tube if left unattended. Picking over the tires and dislodging glass and other debris is somethin

Only been riding that particular compass tire since last week. So far they are great! Roll well amd grip well. Used them on paved amd fire roads. Have had compass tires in other sizes and am a fan. Used to go with the EL versions, but had one ride stopping sidewall cut once. Not really a valid

Clayton, As I eagerly await the arrival of my grey Cheviot, I continue to contemplate the last details of the build. Everything is in place except for the wheels and tires. I've yet to try any of the Compass tires, but I am intrigued by the new Snoqualmie Pass tires. I would love to hear you

I love my blue Ram and my wife's blue Betty, but I do think that over the years RBW has put out more than enough blue frames. I have a very early grey Saluki and if the new grey cheviot looks that good, then it's gorgeous. I'm sorry I missed out on the original orange Ram and am pleased to s

I went back-and-forth quite a bit before deciding to pre-order a grey Cheviot. I finally pulled the trigger because of Grant's statement that this bike may being going away. I also really like the cream accents on these frames - a detail that was missing from the last version of the Cheviots.

It is neat that they changed some details even for the orange. Mine is all orange. New ones have cream accents. Both are nice. Just put some new Snoqualmie pass tires on mine. The ride now is even amazinger! Truly a sheep with wings. Love that bike! If I lost mine today, I'd get another tomorro

I am biased as I am indeed in the queue for a 60cm grey Cheviot... I only wanted to say that regardless of the bikes chosen to stay in the Riv mix, I would vote for that grey and cream to *always* be in there somewhere. It may be a week or two before I get mine, and the build may take a little
