Anytime anyone suggests that maybe some of the things that Jan Heine writes about should be taken with a grain of salt because he apparently profits (he is the president of Compass Bicycles,
https://www.compasscycle.com/about-us/) from the advice he gives out as to tires, components, etc. That doesn't make the advice wrong but it makes me a little skeptical of the advice.
If I'm wrong, I'd love for someone to explain why I'm wrong.
I know there is going to be some blowback on this post. But honestly I've never seen products pushed as hard with so little criticism in bike forums as with Compass Bicycle products.
Call me a little skeptical.
I guess the biggest thing is, have you taken and tried out the advice and tried out the products...
It's one thing to be skeptical, it's another to be closed minded and self-important about your opinions.
I haven't used a Compass product- it's a 'someday' thing for me. Judging from what people here, who I'm pretty sure are not shills, have experienced- there's something to a lot of what's advocated.
(BTW- I don't mean "your" opinions, just your opinions)
