When it comes to tube type tyres Power Cups are the way to go. They're even quite cheap in certain places.

what would be a width choice for a Power Cup tyre on a wheel with IW 23-24mm, 25mm or 28mm? Thank you

I run the labeled 25's on Bontrager RSL 51's with 23mm internal and 31mm outer.SaladhOlivier wrote: ↑Thu Dec 21, 2023 6:56 pmwhat would be a width choice for a Power Cup tyre on a wheel with IW 23-24mm, 25mm or 28mm? Thank you
Saying labeled, because the Power Cups are really 26mm measured flat.
Anyway, on those rims they are essentially a perfect aero match and tape out to 29mm.
The 28's (really 30mm) would be slightly less aero/heavier, but maybe a touch more comfy.
Bontrager does recommend 25's on their 23 internal rims.

Thank you! I also have a set of RSL 51's and have recently bought Farsports Hyper's for another bike (Time ADH 23). I think, 25s should be a safer option with a wheel of 24mm IW. At the moment, that bike is on Prime Primavera 44 (IW 23mm)+GP5k 28mm, that blow up to 30mm, and I have zero problems with frame clearance on both wheels.BikeEatSleepRepeat wrote: ↑Thu Dec 21, 2023 9:02 pmI run the labeled 25's on Bontrager RSL 51's with 23mm internal and 31mm outer.

Is there any replacement on the horizon for the Continental GP5000 or is clincher tire technology at it's peak. I'm typcially at GP5K user with latex tubes but am trying come Challenge Criterium's tubeless and they feel slow to me. I may go back to clinchers when they wear out.

Turbo Cotton 26 mm and Maxxis High Road Sl with TPU tubes. I will not go back to Conti GP5000.
