Ooh, prospect Park is in bloom already? I used to live on 15th and park,
the ride there is nice, but a bit too many people who really don't know how
to ride with other cyclists unfortunately.

Having recently purchased both two sets of GB Hetres and a pair-plus-a-spare of 
the Compass Tires "Stampede Pass," I echo this comment 100%. I certainly hope 
they last a long, long time.

Light, supple, wide (38mm) tires that roll fast, beg for, and reward, 
acceleration, corner precisely, run well at low pressures, and soak up 
rough pavement and gravel vibrations. Easy to love.

Hi All,

I just switched out my last favorite rubber: Continental Cyclecross Speed 
700-42C's that I bot from Riv last year --- great ride and good for both 
smooth and gravel as well as mud and freezing surfaces (actually measured 
38mm on Mavic A319 rims at approx 60 lbs pressure).

I now am running the Compass Barlow Pass 700-38 extralight tan sidewalls. 
They measure 37.7mm at 45 lbs on the front and 37.8 at 55 lbs on the rear - 
on Mavic A319 wheels ( awesomely built by Jude at Sugar Wheelworks in PDX).

Have only run errands around town but they feel great - cushy, track 
beautifully (easy no hands riding) and seem to grip well in the usual PDX 
wet.

Have just got out of the hosp after a bout with pneumonia so I haven't been 
able to do any long rides but will report back when I put on some miles. 

Here are some pics:
