I use both Compass Stampede Pass 32’s and Chinook Pass 28’s on 23mm wide tb14’s. After the first few hundred miles, they measure 33mm (65/75 psi) and 29mm (75/85 psi), respectively, at those pressures.

BTW, I use Stan’s rim tape and can often get those tires on and off without tools, or with just a bit of initial assistance coming off. They can be a slightly tight going on when brand new, but nothing dramatic is required.

Thanks, the Chinook Pass were toward the top of my list. 29 should still be okay, but certainly good to know ahead of time.

My experience with (much larger 38 and 42) Compass tires has been that they go on easily using hands only on Velocity Synergy rims. Some tire/rim combos are just easier.

i have used Compass Bon Jon Pass 700C x 35 tires on the last two Eroica California rides and riding for the last two years. They were hard to mount on older Mavic MA3 rims, but partly because of cloth Velox rim tape that caught the sticky rubber bead. I had to have the local LBS mount and true them up, making sure the bead mounting line was exposed correctly. Once up though, they were very very nice to ride on. At 210 lbs plus 24-26 pounds fully loaded on my Italvega Super Speciale, they are handling 240 lbs overall. I run them at 55F/60R and the ride is supple without much harshness. Some have suggested 5-10 pounds LESS! Per tire.

my first set had over 1500 miles on it till its first flat, was reasonably easy to get off, repaired the tube, but likely pinched it going back on. Replaced it with a new tube and no problems since, but since I dirtied the sidewalls (rear tire) after takin off - on 3 times, I elected to order a new set for Eroica. Again had the LBS install, this time using some smooth and slick Stan's rim tape which made it a bit easier but the tech still had a time of it. Incidentally, he added some Stan's sealant too so we'll see how these hold up.

i still need to clean the old pair's sidewalls and then remount to some other rims. I'll swap the tires front to back as they still have plenty of tread left. Overall, I'm very pleased with the Compass tires and they were the talk and a little envy of some at Eroica "wow, those look big!" And "probably a good setup for gravel, assuming you have the clearance".

one thing I did notice, when the new tire set was installed, the tech super cleaned my rims, which made them all shiny and clean. Once I re-installed them, the brakes were grippy as hell but also squealed both front and rear like crazy. These were on Campagnolo NR sidepulls with Kool Stop Black pads, broken in with 1700 miles on them. After two rides and 75 miles of this, I reangled the toe-in with a 0.75-1.0mm shim at the front of the pad holders and all of the squeal was gone. Braking was still very good but not as extremely grippy as before, but easily modulated. I'd probably use increments of .25mm shims next time to see if I can get more initial pad to bite without the squeal and vibration. As the pads leave some residue on the brake tracks, we'll see how well they hold up.

The last two pics are as the bike was set up for Eroica with a Campy NR derailleur with Rally Long cage, 14-28 Suntour Freewheel and Campagnolo modified triple with 52-42-28 (74bcd triple mod).

As did I, and it works exactly as advertised, saving my skin - literally.

Has anyone in these parts run the Chinook Pass tires tubeless? I’m thinking of trying that on a set of Pacenti brevet rims.
