I love the Continental Grand Prix 5000 S Tr tires, they are easy to mount, and they bead up nicely. They are fast, smooth, and long wearing tire, I am on my second set of these, and don't think I will switch to anything different.
My first set over a year ago were 35mm, and ran with tubes. Several thousand miles later, I replaced them with the tan sidewall version (also 35s). Upgraded the wheelset to Hunt aero 40s tubeless-- and they are fantastically smooth on rough road and long distance rides. No, they aren't as light as the 5000 S, but if you're not racing, I choose reliability and comfort over pure weight. Are they a little spendy? Yeah, but the performance and comfort are worth it. Will keeping buying this tire!
I had my eye on these bars for a while, and bought them when they went on sale. I was looking for a good 'bunch bar' at 36.5 width and so far I'm very happy with these. They've made an improvement in my comfort and confidence on the track, both during training and racing.
