Continental

I bought these to give a little more width and a more knobby pattern for racy use. They fully satisfied. For context, this bike had 38mm Tarravail Washburns on it before as it was primarily being ridden in an 'allroad' configuration (plenty of dirt but no gnarl and some pavement). My other gravel setup is at the other extreme with Mezcal Race 2.25" for the all dirt, lots of gnarl rides. For a fully dirt race, splitting the difference with a bit more mm and some better grip seemed in order. I was quite happy with the balance of a quick tire and yet still adequate comfort and grip. Easy to mount for me. No sealant seepage. No punctures (so far)

These came with my new Canyon Endurace (SLX-Force). If you run these with tubes...you'll flat often. Had 3 flats in 10 rides. Finally went tubeless. These tires have exceptional feel, speed, and grip. Thousand miles in tubeless, no flats. A few punctures and a gash, but Stans took care of all of it. I have considered the AS TR's, but if these continue to perform the way they are I'll def. stick with them. Long-time Vittoria user, but these are just faster. Excellent tire,

They set up tubeless without much fuss on a wheelset with 19mm internal width. I have had two punctures in the past two months, but both punctures sealed with sealant while I was riding and I didn't even notice them until I got home. I ordered these tires in 35mm, and they blew up to 34mm on my rims. I have another set of wheels with 24mm internal width with some 32mm tires, and they measure the same 34mm width. This is a good width for me, as it allows me to run low pressure (~50psi) which isolates a lot of road roughness and also allows the tubeless system to work better.

Promoted as faster due to tread which creates wind vortices...per wind tunnel testing, and the faster you go (or the higher the windspeed), the greater the effect. Hard to say as I'm a 73 yo "never was," but it sure feels that way (possibly placebo effect). The 26 mm measures 26, narrower than I'm accustomed to, so higher pressure and a bit harsher on crappy chip-seal. Only complain was they were hard to mount tubeless on my Roval Rapide CLX II (21mm internal); couldn't seat beads even with compressor. Had to put in a tube for several days, and lost a lot of sealant around the edges before they finally sealed...to the point I didn't have enough to seal a tiny puncture on my 4th or 5th ride with it. My bad, but after first check, it was still hard to seat beads (and lost more sealant), so afraid to take core out again. Since then, all seems well.
