Has anyone tried the Schwalbe G-One R Pro 50mm, or in any other size, that can share their experience? I plan to use them for both pavement and gravel, 50/50.
I’ve had a few minor cuts in recent tires (Michelin Pro 5 35mm, Conti gpx 5000 S TR 32mm, Schwalbe G-One RS Super Race 45, in gravel bike; Aspen 2.4 in MTB bike) only happening in pavement, probably from glass shards. In the case of the Aspen it was were the casing rolls in contact with the road, between knobs. These minor cuts were sealed during the rides, but when using rollers they reopened and sprayed sealant. Putting a small plug sealed the cut, but then the tire was bumpy when using rollers. I had to patch the tires myself, as LBS did not want to patch tubeless tires intended to still be tubeless.
I’m not looking for a slick “endurance” tire that may have extra protection for cuts, just trying to avoid tires with much higher rolling resistance.
So I’m looking at the G-One R Pro 50mm (only in transparent). It looks like the knobs are tight enough so that the casing won’t roll in contact with the road, and BRR numbers look good, with even lower rolling resistance than the RS or RX siblings of same size, and may be a better fit for my use case.
