Great and durable tire. The rear tire lasted a year and a half. The base tape split around the valve stem I did this due to some manhandling trying to install valve extenders. If that didn't happen I probably would have had another 6 months on them. The rubber picked up a few nicks and cuts, but never ever a puncture. There's a blue puncture resistant strip that is light weight but seems to really do the job. I rode through Portland city streets out to races at PIR a few times on the tires - my heart was in my throat a few times rolling through all kinds of debris, but never a flat!
I usually ran 120 - 140 psi. Weight 205lbs. This was my first experience with sew-ups and was pleased by how fast they rolled up and how well they cornered. The 25mm tires felt like I was on 28mm clinchers.
The tube is butyl so it doesn't lose air overnight.
Thank you for your feedback.
