[RBW] Jack Brown green/Cypres/Compass 32/ impressions?
My 650b SamH runs a first gen Compass 38 on the front and a Soma New Express (Pasela tread) 38 on the rear. I don’t think much about speed; it’s a comfortable, reliable setup and works fine on a variety of surfaces.

[RBW] Jack Brown green/Cypres/Compass 32/ impressions?
I've used JB Greens and GB Cypres Extra Leger on my Roadeo. The GB's are noticeably lighter and more flexible with a smoother, more shock-absorbing and vibration-damping ride. They also allow shaper handling due to less gyroscopic resistance in the steering. They feel faster overall and measure about 30mm wise on my H Plus Son TB14 rims. The JB's are about 80-100 grams heavier per tire and this is easily felt in the steering (gyroscopic force) and effort required to accelerate. The bike becomes more stable and mellow. Less racy. The rise is still quite good at low pressures but not a good a the GB's. The side walls are sturdier and I don't worry about flats as much. The extra inertia from heavier JB tires means the bike is more reluctant to change speed. Slower to accelerate and brake but this also means the bike holds speed well. I don't really feel slower when cruising along at a good clip because of this. They are noticeably fatter than the Cypres EL and look great. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

what Tim said. Compass are the best vulcanized tires ever made. On Tuesday, August 7, 2018 at 3:27:56 PM UTC-5, Tim wrote: > > I've ridden all 3 tires on my Hilsen.

I've ridden all 3 tires on my Hilsen. I went from JBs to Cypres first and there was no noticeable difference. I mean no difference, plus I got more flats than the JBs. So I went back to JBs. Then Compass started their own line. I was hesitant but thought I'd give them a go. I installed 32mm Stampede Pass and the difference was amazing! I fell in love with Compass tires and I regret it all of the time. Why? Because they are a total pain in the... They wear super fast (I'm a heavy rider and only get around 1500 miles on a rear tire) and they cost a small fortune. I've tried to move away from them and I may yet but so far nothing compares to the pillow soft ride so when Trigger needs new shoes, he still gets Compass... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

I've ridden only the Compass Elk Pass model, labeled 32 but more like 29. Compared to the JB Greens on my Sam Hillborne, the EPs feel faster; they are certainly thinner and more supple. The JBGs were so to speak a mean between the non-TG 32 mm Paselas and the Compasses. Good tires, but not as good as the EPs.

How do the Jack Browns (green) compare to the GB Cypres or Compass 32 you have ridden?
