I'll add that, my RockCombo is my RTP bike and *IT IS A BLAST* to ride on Compass RTP.
I haven't had any measurable change in my on-the-road flat frequency (knock on wood), though I did go through a nasty spate of valve failures with cheapy tubes in the past couple of years. I have switched over to exclusively using the Schwalbe SV18, SV14 and SV19 lightweight tubes and the issue has abated. I now also am a religious user of the dork-nut. =- Joe On 1/31/18, Joe Bunik <jbu...@gmail.com> wrote: > hi Tom > > Not that I need any more bike parts or projects, but I'd love to hear > about your RR shaving technique! > > I mostly roll on Compass (RTP 559x54, BJP 700x35, StmpP 700x32), GB > (Cypress 700x32), and Soma (C-Line 700x38) tires, and have just added > a set of the SnoqP 700x44 to the mix (which I can confirm are a tight > no-go on a 1977 Sekai 4000). > > =- Joe Bunik (not my real name) > (just kidding) > Walnut Creek, CA > > > On 1/30/18, Palmer <volvotom1...@gmail.com> wrote: >> Hello Lum, >> Tried to love Rat Trap Passes, both regular and EL.
