I'm using the T-Serv 1.75" tires on my dropbar Stumpjumper. The last I checked, the bike weighted ~ 26.5 lbs minus the rear rack. In addition to the weight savings of the T-Servs, they are comfortable, look good and don't cost a fortune. They are considerably less expensive than the Compass 26" tires. As I understand it, Both tires share the same casing and are made in the same Panaracer factory near Osaka.
I'm curious about
how many other readers of this thread use the T-Servs besides Paramount1973 and myself.
