Thanks!
They are Compass (Rene Herse) Rat Trap Pass. Pretty much the whole reason for this build actually. I highly recommend. (I got the pair for $40 off of ebay, they were pretty worn, but it was perfect to see what I thought) They are no slower than typical road bike tires on pavement, and soak up moderate sized chunk in the gravel.
Cassette is 11-42 10 spd, but I had to drop a gear to get it to fit on the older freehub. So its really a 9 spd. I swapped out the whole drivetrain, except for the crankset. Sunrace cassette, Sram GX derailler, and Sram apex brifters, and fsa megatooth 1x chainring.
