Data on BRR makes me curious about this tire.
Obviously extremely low roling resistance. You'd expect it to score less on puncture risk than the TS TR's, but interestingly enough it is quite similar to those in that regard.
Any real life experiences on this tire, especially in terms of puncture risk?

More puncture prone than a GP5K S TR, but less puncture prone than Corsa Speeds or Pro One TTs. Because the casing and tread is so thin, even pinhole punctures aren’t so trivial to seal. I had to plug my 25mm TTs after flatting out of a crit on Saturday.

I was considering to run the TT's on an Alpine race in France with 5500m elevation and 180km lengths. Also due to the lower weight of the TT's.
But sound like that would be quite risky as they can even puncture on a crit (where I presume the road condition wasn't too bad).

Nah, this was a crit with drainage channels going across the road. I’d say at least 6 people flatted on the same section and one person cracked a rim.

Just bought 2 for 60€ each and plan on running them daily. Let's see how long they'll last

TT's on a LB wheelset - Mortirolo, Gavia, Triple Stevlio, Dolmoites and Maratona - 600km, 17,000m climbing in one week - awesome tyre barely looks worn after all that riding.
Excellent to hear! Exactly the riding I'll be doing in a few weeks .mashiehood wrote: ↑Thu Jul 13, 2023 10:25 pmTT's on a LB wheelset - Mortirolo, Gavia, Triple Stevlio, Dolmoites and Maratona - 600km, 17,000m climbing in one week - awesome tyre barely looks worn after all that riding.
Does anyone have an update on real life experiences with these tyres?
I'd like to test my 'racing' equipment before an actual race ie very fast group rides, but I'm a bit scared how well they could hold
Pogacar used them at this year TdF, to my knowledgle he didnt flat, but I wonder if they cleaned the roads before hands, after all crashed happened past years

I’ve been racing with 25mm TT TdFs on some bad roads and they’ve mostly held up. I had one crit where we’d repeatedly ride through big concrete gutters and that resulted in a flat that required DynaPlug. I bet the 28mm version would have been fine.

Using the 25 even as my training tire (front wheel) on the TT bike. 2000km on it this year, always going fast, roads are pretty hit and miss, no cuts or punctures yet.
