I just put some 25c Veloflex Masters on my road bike and they improved the ride a lot. Put the Schwalbe Kojak's on my single speed 26" Rockhopper conversion. Thinking about the 120 TPI 28c Clement Strada's for my fixed gear.

All as ways to get Compass like feel for less than Compass prices but at some point I'd like to try the real things. This thread only heightens that desire...
