Finally! Grand Reveal

Went with Bon Jovis and they ride phenomenal. Will have to try to keep them clean but I know I will eventually stop caring after putting some serious milage.

that is a lovely bike indeed.

personally, i prefer the look of dirty sidewalls, gives the bike a "well traveled" look.

how easily did they set up tubeless for ya?

Setup was relatively easy with the compressor at the shop. Seem to hold air well so far but haven't logged more than 12 miles on them.

[QUOTE=NoMoreParagon;2583968]I would stay away from Compass. I wanted to love em but only got bad experiences. Must have owned at least 5 pairs. They are unreasonable expensive, and they suffer from serious QC issues.

Tubeless sealant “breaths” through the sidewalls. Two tires had manufacturing defects evident in the carcass bumps.

Moreover the sidewalls on the extralite version are ridiculously delicate. I cant explain myself how can those extralite tires can be marketed as adventure all road tires. Do one normal gravel ride with normal rocks and there will be cuts.

+1 I have had a very similar experience with Compass/Rene Hearse.
