Been running GP5kTL x 28mm for 1600 miles with no flats. I reckon I should get over 2000 miles before the rear has worn the 2 little wear mark indicators away. My 28mm tyres (tires) come up as 29.5mm wide with 68psi, on Hunt Carbon Aero Disc wheels 21mm internal, 27mm external, 50mm deep rims. Hav…

Thanks, have seen that before. Based on those charts though we’d all be riding around at the highest pressure that our tire/rim permitted! But I know from testing that Silca have done that road quality is also a factor and that the extra power lost through vertical displacement on a rough road surfa…

Thanks, wasn’t really wondering about the benefits of tubeless (in fact have just got my first tubeless setup running and after some teething issues I’m cautiously optimistic…). More about whether you felt that running those lower pressures was costing you any speed.

Still not sold on the tubeless road concept, been running 4000sii with tubes for 3 years and have a set of non-TL 5000 in the same 25c size waiting to go on next Spring. I run them at 100/110psi f/r, ride quality is still great, cornering grip is great, and they roll very fast. I ride an Emonda SL w…

Just completed a century ride on my TT, first time riding with GP5k TL and 70psi(went a bit above the recommendation, for my weight it should be 65psi) and I’m probably not looking back on clinchers with tubes. Despite the low pressure they feel solid and ride really smooth. I’m still worried if I e…

I’ve gotten quite a few rides in now on my GP5000 TL’s in 28c. I tend to do 60 - 100 mile rides on road rides at steady pace when I’m not hitting the trails. Locally a lot of the roads are chip-seal. I’ve been riding them at 58 - 60 psi. They feel great and do wonders soaking up the rough chip-s…

My experience after 3 years of running multiple tubeless tires in varying widths is that the lower pressures definitely cost speed. After a long angsty period of wondering why I was so slow, I’m back up to the same pressures I was using for non-tubeless. GP5000, 700x25, 115R 105F, 83kg body weight…
