I had a pair last summer, and I thought they were on about the same level
as a Pasela (non-TG), maybe the Pasela was a bit better. Overall, I wasn't
that impressed by them. No science to back this up, just my riding
impression.
Still, I ponied up for some Loup Loup pass tires for my Trek 650B
I'm trying to decide what's worse, having the dollars stack up at $130 a
pair for really incredible tires, or feeling like you are obligated to wear
out your existing tires to justify treating yourself to new tires

I feel ya Bill. Thinking of unloading some rafter hanging rubber. Maybe
post the 26x2.0 Big Ben's and the 650b x 41 Fatty Rumkins to name a couple.

Ha! You're not along Bill, I have the same tendencies... using something
more that I don't like, so I can justify getting rid of it.
Being a wannabe minimalist bikie is tough... every time I clean the garage
and downsize, I later end up buying a good chunk of the stuff again.

Choice B.
Which is why I have so many surplus tires.

I've forced myself to run my absolute least favorite tires on my
singlespeed, forcing myself to wear them out before buying any more. It's
super neurotic when you are a minimalist packrat. Minimalist tendencies
make me love getting rid of stuff. Packrat tendencies make me want to keep
stuff
Dear Hugh,
I bought a pair in March of 2014 for my Atlantis. They replaced a set of Big
Apples 26x 2.1(?). The Compass seem faster but I have no data to confirm
that. The compass ride as nicely as the Big Apples. I have about a 1000 miles
on them and have not gotten one flat. (I really hate
Hi Bunch,
Has anyone had experience with the above tires? If yes how do they compare to
the Big Ben's? The compass weigh in at 440g which are light and I presume would
roll fast. I wonder how they'd handle mixed terrain? How they hold up over
time? In advance thanks for your thoughts.
Cheers,
