Yep I love Compass tires. The pictured tires (Challenge Gravel Grinders) were really just for a fit test; the clearance was a little too tight for comfort. I rode 700 x 32 Compass tires on my Roadeo most of the time, and sold them with the frame. I could have fit fenders above the 32s if desired, but I tried to keep my Roadeo stripped-down. Turns out, I just don't ride skinny tires any more, so I couldn't justify owning an incredible frame for them. Moved on to a very happy list member in Singapore.
I currently have 700 x 38 Barlow Pass tires on my plastic (CF) gravel bike, recently swapped from 700 x 38 Steilacooms. And my Riv Road Standard has 650 x 42 and 38 (front/rear) Compass tires. I haven't set any of them up tubeless yet, but I intend to. On Fri, Jul 20, 2018 at 9:16 AM, Don Compton <dpco...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks.
