I've never done this, but if I did, I would try gently using a ball peen hammer on the edges of the rivets. That's pretty much how the rivets were formed in the first place. Eric N www.CampyOnly.com Twitter @CampyOnlyGuy Blog: CampyOnlyGuy.blogspot.com On Jan 18, 2015, at 5:03 PM, John

Ball peen hammer? These don't look like the hammered rivets on the B67 select. These are the regular steel rivets on a standard B67. I transfered my wife's saddle to my bike to see if I could feel what she felt, and she was right, I could feel the sharp edges of the rivets through my blue

Sean, I can't make a direct comparison since I haven't owned tires of either brand in that exact size, but I can tell you that the new Compass Pass 42mm tires do surpass the ride quality of the Grand Bois version they set out to improve upon, so my guess is that the Compass will be superior
