Finally installed my power cups (28mm).. 3k miles on the 5000sTR and rode through a field of glass on the weekend so it was time.
Went on without a hitch but failed at the AirLiner install (again).. too much faff to worry about it. Hopefully they will feel great at the wednesday night practice crit.

me too, altough they are overall also very good tires. But the PowerCups and Corsa Pro just feel much better.

Puncture resistance on the center tread of a tubeless tire is a red herring IMO. I’ve only had problems with two tires, the Corsa Speeds and the Pro One TTs. I’ve never had puncture problems with GP5K S TRs. Sealant generally does its job.
Sidewall durability is more important as is tread coverage.

I would always choose 28mm - we are not in 2015

that is the only place I get punctures (center).. I have had no sidewall issues since turbo cotton days.TobinHatesYou wrote: ↑Tue Jun 06, 2023 9:21 pmPuncture resistance on the center tread of a tubeless tire is a red herring IMO.

I have 28 mm on a second set of wheels but I like 25 mm on the set I'm using mostly now for criterium/granfondo.
My only concern was about puncture, is there any difference between 25 and 28 considering the tread?
I like em... like em better then 5000STR's.. plush and just as fast. I'll take a good look at the tread tomorow in the light after tonight practice crit.

actually no... Sean / Adam then Fun Ghi. 3 man break. I got dropped as usual, but it's all good. Winds were something else.
It's fun racing well above your Cat and trying to hang on.

Crit,and a couple punchy group rides.
No discoloration due to orange seal
but they do lose a little psi sitting around

You are running a 28 mm tyre on a 23 mm internal rim, right?
Still confused about BRR side thread warning but want to try Michelin on Reserve wheels (23/22 internal) instead of the usual GP 5000 S TR.

correct 28mm tire on 23mm internal rim. I've done 1 crit, but surface is good on the practice course, so I dont worry too much.
