Jon: how do the APs feel compared to the Big Ones -- did you ride dirt as well as pavement? I find that the BOs roll very well; I'd guess that they seem to have no more rolling resistance tubeless, on pavement, 18-23 psi, than 35 mm Kojaks with tubes at road pressures. Do the APs feel as good? (I realize that I have no measurements, thus "feel".)
55 mm on the Semis, which are listed as 30 mm wide, so I'd guess that the APs would measure much the same on my Velocity Blunt SS's, at 35 mm wide. My Big Ones measure 61 mm. Hmm. I worried before buying Big Ones, 8 or 10 months before the AP announcement, because I wanted to buy a Compass version, but I rather think that the BOs meet my needs better, slightly, than the APs.
