Does the Compass 26x1.75 tire qualify as GREAT with you?
Does the Compass 26x1.5 tire qualify as GREAT with you?

In other words, does /virtually no great tires /mean Zero? Or One? Or Two?

"Virtually" does allow for one or two great tires. However, I think we can surmise based on some passing comments in a recent BQ article that Jan himself sees room for improvement (i.e., bringing the 559 offerings up to the same standard as the other Compass sizes) so perhaps they'd best be considered as "very good" rather than "great". It's even possible to view [reading between the lines, to be sure] recent comments in his blog regarding his policy of not commenting on new products before they are issued as a hint that such improvements may in fact be in the offing.


When Tim said Grand Bois, I assumed he /meant/ these two Compass models.

I'm confident that's what he meant, too.

    Because there are virtually no great road tire options for 26"?
    Panaracer Pasela, Specialized, Grand Bois, Schwalbe...  There are a bunch of 
good road tire options for 26" wheels.


    There aren't any Grand Bois tires in 559 that I am aware of.  As
    for the rest, yes certainly a bunch of /good/ tires, but Bobby
    said /great./
