Not the easiest to install or seat onto my Hunt carbon ribs, but once set up, these tires ride extremely well and even took them on gravel trails. Ride great on the road and trails.
No more flats, but fairly expensive.
I�ve been using GP 5000�s tubeless for 5-6 years and the S TR since it became available. I�ve been getting around 5000 miles on each tire on rough pavement and occasional gravel. I like the feel, the grip and the rolling resistance at 65/70 seems as good or better than earlier versions.
Like these tires for a year, until my first flat! Tire sealed on the road and I was able to ride the remaining 10 miles home. It held air through the next day until I pumped it up to riding pressure. The sealant could not hold the air pressure and select came out. I then plugged the hole, which solved the problem, but there is a bump where the plug went in. To be safe I'll probably buy a new tire..
I love, love, love these tires. Fast and durable. Not one puncture (that I'm aware of) over several thousand miles. Great road feel and easy to mount on my DT Swiss wheels. FWIW I run these with Silca Ultimate sealant.
I did a recent race 60 miles, when I arrived I noticed everyone was was riding a gravel bike Turns out about 33 miles was gravel, I rode and completed the ride on the 28mm continental 5000 on Cadex hookless wheels at 63 psi ,not a single mark no flats zero problem well maybe one on 10% hill my tiers were spinning so much in the gravel I had walk part of the way up the hill in my road shoes.
This is a phenomenal tire. Amazingly efficient rolling resistance with no compromise when it comes to durability. The tires are incredibly hard to install, but the plus side is that the seal that is created when they are seated is so tight you could almost go without using sealant. Highly recommend these tires.
I did not have the hand strength to mount the GP5000. I am able to mount the GP5000S. They roll easy and have good traction. Overall great tire.
everything they claim to be.....
Great tires
Great service
Perfect. Easy to mount and ride great.
I finally wore past the indicators on my rear tire. It rolled 5,281 miles. Incredibly fast, incredibly durable, fantastic puncture protection, easy mounting.
$0.02 per mile for the fastest road tires a pleb can buy.
I have these in 25, 28, and 30. I love them!!!
Great all around performance. Confidence inspiring in the corners.
I've used multiple variants of this tire and currently run the 28mm and 30mm versions of this tire. They snapped right on to my Zipp 808s without requiring any tools. The first for a TLR tire in my experience. I was worried there might have been an issue and they wouldn't hold air since they went on so easily - but they seated and held air just great! I will have to see how these compare long term this season but so far so good.
Installation of this tire was extremely hard. It took all my power plus some to get this tire on my TR wheel. However, it filled up with air with my floor pump easily. So far, the ride on this tire is real nice.
Once you break them in, they are the fastest tires I ever had, vs Schwalbe Pro One, Conti GT 5000 TL.
They are really a race or time trial tire, with a bit more puncture protection.
I bought a set of Schwalbe Pro One TE. They are listed as only 15 grams more, but they seem 2X as durable.
This is probably the highest rated road tubeless tire in the market and it does live up to the accolades. According to my bike shop, it was super easy to install/set up. I have been riding with these and they are very smooth. So far, I have had a great experience.
So far I would give them a 5/5 except for two minor things. They are quite difficult for an older fellow with arthritic fingers to get on/off the rims. Also they tend to lose air and need topping off more quickly than one might expect. Perhaps that is standard for tubeless set-ups or maybe for hookless rims.
Mounted on Zips 404 Firecrest hookless wheels effortlessly and I feel confident cornering in both wet and dry conditions. Rolling resistance is negligible from the Continental TL 5000 (28mm) tires I had previously, ride comfort, just fantastic!
Love the roll! Smooth, reliable, fast. Can be a little tough to mount the first time but I consider that a good thing.
