I just replaced the tires on my newest commuter-y type bike, the New
Albion Privateer. It is a pretty stout steel steed. I was running Maxxis
Refuse 700x28 folding tires at 85 psi. I thought maybe they might have been
making the stoutness feel even more stout -
I think that has been most folks' experience with the Grand Bois Cypres.
Certainly mine when switching from Gatorskins.

At first, they used a casing that was similar to the Rolly-Poly/Jack
Brown/Maxy-Fasty. After our tests, they went back to the drawing board and

I think Steve is right, it would be hard to improve upon FMB. Their
tubulars are pretty amazing. I used them in 'cross last season, and they
were a dream. For their road tires, I think the tread could be improved
(they use Challenge's treads for their wider tires), mostly to increase the
So if the Cypres is actually a Grand Bois-branded product. Is there a

I'll have to work through my back stock of tires Jan before I can justify
ordering something new, although there are a number of new tires in the
market to look at including the Compass offerings.
Thanks for the back ground info however. we lose track so quickly of how
bikes and components came
