Turns out the culprit was a sliver of glass embedded in the tread. It was my
second flat with the Snoquamies, but I think the same shard caused both. It
reminded me to always take the time to check for debris, even if you're
changing the flat in less than ideal conditions.
More importantly:
You're welcome Patrick.

Patrick,
I divided an 8oz bottle between three tubes.
I turned the bottle upside down and then marked it with a sharpie.
The amount of air space at the top of the bottle would make it harder to guess
at the amount accurately. Make sense?
I'm not particularly exact with air pressure. I
Sweet, Ray! How much OJ do you put in each tube and at what pressures?

Deacon Patrick,
Several months ago I rode through a mine field of
goatheads and switched to Patrick Moores method of orange seal in tubes.
Since then, I've pulled a number of goatheads out of my tires, watched a little
bubbling take place and ride on.
No flats since. We'll
Sweet! Sorry about the flat. I haven't flatted at all with my Barlows (and
so far the Snoqualmies). However, I plan to add 2 oz of orange seal to each
tire's tube when I tour/bikepack. Patrick of the Moore swears by this and
he's in goat head central.
With abandon,

Patrick, I lowered my PSI to 40-45, and really enjoyed the results! The
Atlantis felt a bit cushier and zippier. I got a flat, but it wasn't a
pinch flat so I'm guessing pressure had little to do with it.

Hi Patrick--Just to clarify, I was not being facetious, just a gentle
ribbing--I get where you are coming from. At this point seemingly the only
real question with the various Compass rubber is how does it measure, and
on what rims. Or, as you have done, comparing one size to another regarding
Spot on with the fender assessment, Ian. I'm keeping it as is for the
Racing Ralph winters (which means October through April or May round here).
I was surprised at the improvement from the Barlows to the Snoqualmie in
handling steep sided ruts (not sliding down them as much).

Yes, you could say the Hetre was the "tire that started it all," getting
the ball really rolling on the supple and fat revolution. But though they
are sold by Compass, as you probably know, they were not designed by
Compass. The Baby Shoe Pass is the Compass equivalent. I was not a fan of

In a conversation about the ELs as a touring tire I said the very same
thing, with a less agreeable response. They are so much of an improvement
over other tires I had to say it again.

Looks like there is room for full-coverage fenders with that set-up.
Although, I expect you'll want to put the Ralphs back on when the snow
flies.
I now have a number of rides on Hetres (584x41) and they float along. What
surprises me is their ability to deal with really poor condition
If you go with with the EL, 3 of them will weigh about what a pair of 40 mm
Marathon Supremes weigh. And it is possible to physically damage a
Marathon; I know, I've done it.

What psi do you run yours, John? I'm also on Atlas rims and weigh the same
as you.

My plan exactly, Jay! nearly the perfect plush all terrain touring tire,
though underbiking a wee bit on technical single track. I've ridden my QB
on a lot of technical single track over the last three+ years with the
Barlow Pass tires and not once had a sidewall issue, which surprises me
I like these tires so much that I'm going to use them on a tour this summer.
There are risks, so I'm taking an extra tire, in case one gets slashed beyond
repair. I just can't give up the ride quality.

Keith, front, yes. Rear, possibly, but you be limited to the rearward wheel
position and it would be snug. I haven't tried mounting them, and I've only
inflated mine to 35psi and they measure 41mm. I expect them to expand with
time, as the Compass did.

Looks nice. You're probably the guy to ask: would those fit on an "actual"
quickbeam?
