Joe,
No fenders with the burts. There's decent clearance, but I wouldn't say enough
to safely run fenders over the knobby tires. I think switchbacks plus fenders
would be the ticket for the best all around set up. Hopefully I'll end up with
that set up eventually. In the meantime if fall starts
I'm so glad I didn't do this math when I bought mine. More importantly,
I'm glad my wife didn't. I love my Barlow Pass Extralights! At least I'm
putting a lot more miles on the bike than my truck these days.

Once a tire goes into the 60$+ range, it starts to hurt.
I will say that Compass has been very fair, even dropping their prices as the
euro and yen have changed, I think for their Schmidt stuff this year and also
their tires last year.

pass on my elephant NFE and the difference in speed is hardly noticeable, but
the improvement in comfort over bumps is distinct. Compared with compass at

I have about 1000 miles on the 700 version and I have been extremely happy with

Since I got excellent advice on my XO-3 tire questions last week I'll put a
slightly different one up today regarding the Bombadil... I'm already
pretty sure what I am looking for and am just caught in some paralysis by

I think I'm going to try these on my first gen Bombadil if they become

It's been mentioned elsewhere, but hard to beat the Thunder Burts for a

I love Jan's tires but wow $168 is pretty breathtaking.
The 4 tires on my car cost $330 out the door with mounting, balancing, tax

I just picked up 4 of the new pari-moto's for $30-something via Boulder
bikes and thought it was a deal... your ebay link makes me want to do a
lifetime buy! :)
I just ordered four new tires for my car this week to... $300 shipped w/
an $80 rebate which should cover the mounting/balancing.
I forget what I paid for the cars on my 2006 PT Cruiser. It may have been
as much as $400 for 4 since I bought them through my mechanic who got them
from some chain -- I just asked him to do a turnkey. But I suppose overall
