where he compares the *ALL*-road Specialized Trigger Pro (38mm)

and the all-*ROAD* Compass Snoqualmie Pass (44mm)

Simply, Compass ELs are the best vulcanized bike tires ever made.

Looking for some input from folks that may have experience with
these different tires. I'd like to put wider rubber on my A Homer
Hilsen. It's a MUSA frame (possibly Toyo, I'm not sure how to tell
the difference). Regardless, I'm running the S!lver branded Tektro
sidepulls and the wheels are Rich-built with Synergy rims. I
currently have Soma New Express tires (650bx38mm) and would like
something a bit wider to better set the bike up for fire roads and
differentiate it a bit from my Roadini, which is now my primary
road bike. The candidates are,
Soma Cazadero (42mm)
WTB Byway or Horizon (47mm)
Compass tires, either the Babyshoe Pass (42mm) or the Switchback
Hill (48mm)
My inclination is towards the Byway, provided it'll fit and WTB
gets it back in stock. IIRC Justin mentioned he put them on his
Saluki, so I think that means they should work (sans fenders of
course).
I'd love to hear opinions and experience from folks. If there are
other similar tires you think I should consider please share that too!
