Santa brought a pair of these Compass tires in 26 x 1.50 for our Burley. This afternoon we took a short trial run and they felt very nice. We did about 90 minutes/25ish miles on flat ground. Surfaces range from new pavement to cracked, chunked up asphalt and I think that I can say that the ride quality is a definite improvement over the Serfas Seca 26 x 1.25 wire bead slicks [MENTION=117766]100psi[/MENTION] that they replaced. A pressure of 70 psi was recommended to us by Jan Heine ("Mr Compass Cycles"), but I felt better with 75F/80R. My stoker reported a more compliant feel than the old tires and I will say that I agree with that observation. My worry was that they we would get the "balloon tire" "floatation" handling sensation and I can say that I did not experience that. My major issue with the Serfas Seca was that it never felt like it was enough tire for the weight of our rig. The 26x1.25 Secas always made me cringe going over anything rougher than hardy chipseal for fear of a blowout or pinch flat, even inflated to 100psi. I never had anything close to that feeling on today's little spin.
Another concern I had was that they would roll like a beach bike on tractor tires and I can say that that, too, was not the case. We usually average 16-17 mph on this ride and our average today was 16.7 mph. They roll nicely and certainly at least equal to our old tires
So, based on today's tiny sampling, I'm feeling pretty good about these tires being a nice match for our tandeming "style", or lack thereof

We are doing another ride tomorrow, this one with a few hills and descents. Will let you know how that one goes ....

Cheers!
