I have ridden about 300 miles of pavement and gravel roads on the new 26 x 1.75" Compass tires. They replaced 26 x 1.25" kevlar folding Pasela's on my bike which I liked just fine. The Compass tires do ride very nicely... smooth and more secure feeling on gravel. Obviously an apple and oranges comparison based on the volume differences. When I mounted the Compasses, the casing was supple and felt thinner than other tires I have mounted. I have not tried the 26 x 1.75" Pasela but will probably try a pair of those next just to see if they can come close to the Compass at less cost. That said, I have really enjoyed the Compass so far and don't mind supporting Jan and BQ for the good work they do.
