I recently installed a new pair of GP5000 on my Bontrager RSL wheels with 23mm inner width.
The old tires were 28,5mm on the rim while the new ones are just 27mm.
Did they update the GP5000 to the new ETRTO standard?

If i want something a little bit more durable than the regular GP5000, what tire would that be?
Using regullar tubes.

Put a set of GP5000 S TR 32mm on my ENVE 5.6 Disc wheelset and was surprised by how narrow the 32mm tires run.

Front 32mm @ 65psi on 20mm ID rim: 31mm
Rear 32mm @ 65psi on 19 ID rim: 30.5mm

I recieved the two GP5000's in the mail today. I probably wont install them for another three or four weeks, but I did want to add the weights before I forget. 700cx25 GP5000 Transparant with the shipping bands still in place are 220g for one and 225g for the other. This is my 6th pair of GP5000's and all my previous ones have been between 218g and 221g. I guess I'll put the 225g tire on the rear hoping the weight is more tread thickness.

Mocs123 - have you had a chance to fit your new GP5000s yet?

I've got a pair of AR56 wheels coming soon, and am trying to choose between 25mm and 28mm GP5000 (non tubeless / TR). When fitted to the 23mm internal width AR56, the early batches of non-tubeless GP5000 in 25mm reportedly measure up at 28.5mm ±0.25mm wide when new, expanding to 29mm ±0.25mm after a few weeks of use. If this is still the case, then it's the tyre for me!

However, if the latest batches of non-tubeless GP5000 have also been downsized slightly (in line with the 1.5mm decrease in carcass width of the GP5000S TR vs the older GP5000 TL), then the 28mm might be on the cards.

Has anyone weighed these recently? I just got a pair of 25s and I weighed them at 245g and 249g
