Well the tire thing can make people crazy, so my impressions are in no
way scientific. :) I am using the EL Compass versions and I did notice a
difference. The Compass tires make the bike feel faster (I don't know if
it is true or not, I don't use a computer) and they roll a bit easier on

After trying all the methods -- removing to soak in solvent; useless

Did some searching. Oh dear, it's as bad as I thought...
It’s easy enough to do: put a bathroom scale under one wheel and a wood
block the same thickness as the scale under the other wheel. First, weigh
yourself standing on the scale while lifting the bike off of the ground.
