I've had better luck calling them than e-mail. My Barlow Pass EL's measure
37mm mounted on their Grand Bois rims.

Remove the post: no, of course not. But I just wanted all to be clear about
what he said; and if he used the word "degrade," then that's fine too as
long as his meaning is clear. IIRC, Jan's limit was about 26.5", so that 50
mm 559s, 42 mm 584s, and sub-35 mm 622s would fit the bill.
Yes, the Jone
I don't remember what he attributes it too.
I just remember him writing on the blog that, for 700c bikes, he felt that
handling gets worse when the tire with exceeds 35mm, while 650b bikes keep
their nimble handling with tires wider than that.
I am pretty sure he used the term "degrades", but
I think that what BQ/Compass in fact claims is that the gyroscopic factors
determined by tire diameter and width and of course weight at the given
distance from the axle result in the best handling when the perimeter of
the wheel is about 13.5" from the axle. They don't to my knowledge use the
word
I think Customer Service was riding P-B-P.

1. Compass/Bicycle Quarterly articles/blog state that tires will get an mm
or two wider with use/time, iirc.
2. They state that rim width plays a role in how wide the tire will
empuffen,
3. They also state that handling on 700c bikes degrades with any tire wider
than 35mm. They believe running

disappoints me most is that on the Compass website they clearly state that
the tires are "actual" size and not just "stated". I've written to the

Do the Compass Extra Legers usually expand with use? I wonder if the new
Elk Passes will expand by 5 mm or so. Half of me wants them to empuffen
(great verb) to the full 32 mm; t'other half likes them just as they are,
~27.5 mm on quite narrow (13 mm inside) semi-aero rims. For me, 28 mm is an
ide
How long have you had the Barlows mounted? They may need more em-puffening
time.
I have both them and the Jack Brown Greens on similar width rims and the
Compasses are certainly wider.

Hi,
It's too bad i didn't wait to buy my Barlow Pass EL until this week as i
would have bought yours. After reading all the hype, I was disappointed to
find that these are the exact width as the Jack Browns that I was currently
using. I wanted something just a little bit cushier with the extra 5
11 matches
