I'm just glad someone finally used the words "fragile" and "Compass" in the same sentence. I think Jan has really sold folks a bill of goods. (And I know many on here swear by them. Hello to the Patricks!) I've never had a sidewall cut in any other tire, ever, although I've always carried a boot, just in case. Counting the sidewall cut on a BRAND NEW (so much for calling them "event tires") Stampede Pass that caused my DNF at PBP, after 1000km, in 2015 (which couldn't be held by a boot, or a dollar bill, leading to 7 flats over 50km, and I think it was Theo, from Compass who replied to my complaint that, yes, it's true that boots don't work well on those tires) I've thrown away three straight Compass rear tires before the tread even began to show wear. Each one had a sidewall cut, although I very consciously changed the way I rode to ensure I didn't drop off a curb or approach anything at an angle to avoid rubbing the sidewall, even in the slightest. Quite frankly, I will never buy another thing from Compass/Rene Herse. Sorry, but I've needed to get that off my chest for a long time. We now return to your regulary scheduled programming.
