Wow, this thread got resurrected from the dead...
If I had one parting thought about the LoupLoups, I have reduced the
pressure somewhat and it seems to help the flat resistance, and
reduces blowoffs, which seem to be a feature of my Soma Weymouth rims
I have on my Custom. I'm running in the rang
I've been riding Panaracer Nifty Swiftys on my Bleriot since 2007. I was
happy with their flat resistance and the durability of the rubber, but the
sidewalls seemed to get brittle and tear after a while. When a second
sidewall rip occurred, I decided to look for other options. I somehow

Jim,
Have you used Hetres before?
If so, how do the Loups compare?

The limiting factor right now on the Redwood is the 200mm cranks. I'm
scraping pretty often even with 700x32. But I do have an extra 650B
wheelset sitting around now that I sold my Soma GR.
Which brings me to the other limiting factor - time. I am working with a
contractor to put my house back
Hey Jim, I'm in the process of converting my new 68cm Rambouillet to 650b.
It fits Hetres or Stampede Pass + fenders no problem. The Redwood should be
the same I would think.

Thanks for this review. I am looking to purchase Loup Loup's (or
Pari-motos). My Hetre's are good tires, but a bit sluggish for me. I'm
hoping Loup Loup's will result in a more snappier ride.

Yes, the LoupLoups have been far better for me than any other tire I have
tried on my Rivendell. I bought 4 more of them a couple of weeks ago to
equip a new build and to replace the rear on the Riv. Which lasted at
least 2500 miles. Most of the supple tires I tried before gave a very

I am thinking of going from Hetres to Loups, but don't know if I am more
likely to get flats on the Loups. I think the tread is .5mm thinner than
Hetres but cannot confirm.

Sorry about the long delay. Ended up riding the tandem for the week my
stepdaughter was here for Spring Break because she preferred it to my
wife's single. Which was an unexpected development, but I don't use the
tandem nearly enough to justify the money I've put into it between the
purchase and
Wort the wait for me. My Atlantis immediately got more efficient when I put the
Compass tires on. My new favorite (along with JB Green and the Big Ben 700x55
(which rarely fit anyway).)

My recent Compass tires order took a couple of days longer to get there than I
expected, but I"m sure they got them here as quickly as possible. They emailed
to say that demand for the new tires has hit their shipping department pretty
hard. Good predicament to be in!

Sure doubt its Compass's fault. I've been very pleased with their service.

I must have the old Synergies. The tires will readily mount unevenly and
thump and pulsate, if I'm not careful with mounting.
That being said, I think the high weight of the engine does balance it out
some. The pulsating is much less noticeable on the back even when the tire
is obviously out of
Yep, the new Synergies seem fine, BSD wise...

FYI, I just built up a set of wheels with new Synergy rims, and had no
problems seating the bead of my Grand Bois Lierre tires. I put a little
soap on the beads to help, of course. The Lierre tires seated up way more
easily than they ever did on the ZAC19 rims.

Particularly the bead seating. Thanks.
Bead seating issues on Synergy rims are due to the rim, not the tire.
