I put them on my Rambouillet this summer with the same reaction. One of the more astounding observations besides the ride quality is the rollout. We have hills around here, seldom straight, seldom of pitches recommended in civil engineering handbooks and more textures than most places including concrete, asphalt, brick, Belgian block and yes, wooden block.
In a group of riders, me on the only ferrous framed, 36-spoked, leather saddled, Compass EL-tired bike, beginning a descent without a pedal stroke, I simply roll away from others. It was so noticeable that one rider (in his 20s) quipped "those old guys have nothing left to live for" unable to grasp that such could result from better tires and that I did nothing to produce the difference including being heavier (my 185 lbs doesn't stand out in that group). Not only is the roll out impressive, the feel of control from suppleness doesn't raise concern over nearing the edge of the envelope where lesser rim protectors go into a sketchy ride and an interval of handling and feel that makes clear that they are not happy when too many parameters challenge them. My Stampede Pass ELs earned their place quickly and are the simple, obvious decision for tires in my book. Few bits of kit are such slam dunks and winter moments imagining a new bike project would only take 15 minutes if all others were this clear.
