I really like their checkerboard tires, but the Fatty Rumpkin with the inverted tread is sweet!

Where do they get the names for their tires? I blame Grant.

I've been looking for some long-reach drop bars -- Nitto B132 for $25 sounds great to me!
I really needed to throw in a few other things to justify the $20 shipping though

Did you say Grant Petersen?
Grant Petersen taught me how to love a woman — and how to scold a child.
Grant Petersen’s colonoscopy tape got higher ratings than ‘How I Met Your Mother.'
Did I ever tell you about the time I went horseback riding with Grant Petersen, but there weren’t any horses around? Well, Grant throws a saddle on my back and rides me around Wyoming for three days. Well, wouldn’t you know it, my stamina increases with each day and I develop tremendous leg muscles. So anyway, Grant decides to enter me in the Breeders’ Cup, right, under the name Turkish Delight. And I’m running in second place, and I’m running and I break my ankle! They’re about to shoot me. Then someone from the crowd yells out, God bless him, ‘Don’t shoot him, he’s a human.
Did I ever tell you about the time Grant Petersen took me out to go get a drink with him? We go off looking for a bar and we can’t find one. Finally, Grant takes me into a vacant lot and says, ‘Here we are.’ Well, we sat there for a year and a half. Sure enough, someone constructed a bar around us. Well, the day they opened it, we ordered a shot, drank it, and then burnt the place to the ground. Grant yelled over the roar of the flames, ‘Always leave things the way you found them!'
Grant Petersen wears a live rattlesnake as a condom.
I went camping with Grant Peterson … I’m in the back of a pickup with Grant Petersen and a live deer. Well, Grant, he grabs the deer by the antlers, looks at it and says, ‘I’m Grant Petersen! Say it!’ Then he squeezes the deer in such a way that a sound comes out of its mouth — “Grantpetersen!” It wasn’t exactly it, but it was pretty good for a deer.”
I once saw Grant scissor-kick Angela Lansbury.
Did I ever tell you about the time Grant Petersen showed up at my daughter’s wedding? You know my daughter, she’s a beautiful girl. Well, Grant shows up and you know he’s a big fella. Well, he’s standing right between me and my daughter at the ceremony. He’s got no right to be there, but he’s drunk and he’s Grant. Well, long story short, the priest accidentally marries me and Grant. We spend the weekend in the Poconos — he loved me like I’ve never been loved before.
Grant once punched a hole in a cow just so he could see who was coming up the road.
Did I ever tell you about the time Grant was in a production of ‘The King and I’? On opening night, Grant chloroformed the entire cast and slowly eats them in front of the audience for two hours. The production got pretty good reviews.
I remember one time Grant took his family to Sea World. They were watching Shamu the whale when Grant got splashed. So Grant yells, ‘I’m Grant Petersen and no one gets me wet!’ So he climbs into the tank, grabs Shamu, and throws the whale into the audience, splashes him and yells, ‘How do you like it?’ And then damn if Grant didn’t step in there and finish the show.”
I've been trying to justify a set of B176 bars... damn...

That's pretty good, @The Golden Boy. Keep it up.
This sale is really tempting, but of course, I really don't need anything. I just checked my crap closet, and I have a lot more tires than I need. I've been buying them just in case.

I once saw Grant scissor-kick Angela Lansbury.
Did I ever tell you about the time Grant Petersen showed up at my daughter’s wedding? You know my daughter, she’s a beautiful girl. Well, Grant shows up and you know he’s a big fella. Well, he’s standing right between me and my daughter at the ceremony. He’s got no right to be there, but he’s drunk and he’s Grant. Well, long story short, the priest accidentally marries me and Grant. We spend the weekend in the Poconos — he loved me like I’ve never been loved before.
Grant once punched a hole in a cow just so he could see who was coming up the road.
Did I ever tell you about the time Grant was in a production of ‘The King and I’? On opening night, Grant chloroformed the entire cast and slowly eats them in front of the audience for two hours. The production got pretty good reviews.
I remember one time Grant took his family to Sea World. They were watching Shamu the whale when Grant got splashed. So Grant yells, ‘I’m Grant Petersen and no one gets me wet!’ So he climbs into the tank, grabs Shamu, and throws the whale into the audience, splashes him and yells, ‘How do you like it?’ And then damn if Grant didn’t step in there and finish the show.”

OK, my entertainment for the evening is taken care of. Thanks the golden boy! 
(and Tektro RRL levers do rock)
I did see that they also have Fairweather traveler tires on sale. Good tires and should not be overlooked for normal road riding. I've been riding them most of the year. Rolling resistance may not be quite as low as Conti GP4000, but the ride is substantially smoother, and they strangely enough handle better. Good feedback and sticky rubber make them very fast on gnarly descents. I'd suppose that they are essentially the same tire as the 'regular' casing Compass tires, but don't know for sure.

This thread should be P&R'ed, not C&V'ed.
Also BS'ed . Inverted tread rolls like smooth road tires but with grip like off-roadies. Yeah right! Who makes this stuff up??? Or the better question = Who buys into it???
Unicorns can fly faster than Elon Musk's Hyperloop and will lead us to Mars. PM me for discounted tickets.

...I don't even know what inverted tread is.
I assumed it had something to do with mounting your tyres inside out.

Y'know, back in 1991 or so, Grant Peterson and Chuck Norris got into a fistfight, and ... well, it's still going on.

Did you say Grant Petersen?
Grant Petersen taught me how to love a woman — and how to scold a child.
Grant Petersen’s colonoscopy tape got higher ratings than ‘How I Met Your Mother.'
Did I ever tell you about the time I went horseback riding with Grant Petersen, but there weren’t any horses around? Well, Grant throws a saddle on my back and rides me around Wyoming for three days. Well, wouldn’t you know it, my stamina increases with each day and I develop tremendous leg muscles. So anyway, Grant decides to enter me in the Breeders’ Cup, right, under the name Turkish Delight. And I’m running in second place, and I’m running and I break my ankle! They’re about to shoot me. Then someone from the crowd yells out, God bless him, ‘Don’t shoot him, he’s a human.
Did I ever tell you about the time Grant Petersen took me out to go get a drink with him? We go off looking for a bar and we can’t find one. Finally, Grant takes me into a vacant lot and says, ‘Here we are.’ Well, we sat there for a year and a half. Sure enough, someone constructed a bar around us. Well, the day they opened it, we ordered a shot, drank it, and then burnt the place to the ground. Grant yelled over the roar of the flames, ‘Always leave things the way you found them!'

If you could do this once a day, or at least once a week, I'd greatly appreciate it. Perhaps even publish it.
