Anyone run them? Any feedback?
I picked up a set of Giant SLR1 carbon wheels for the road bike a few months ago, and didn't know they had some quite strict tyre compatibility restrictions because of their hookless design
Currently running Giant Gavias in 25mm guise but the GP5000s on my winter bike are notably better at everything in every condition. Sadly Giant tested the GP5000s and found they blew off the hookless rims, which is something I'd like to avoid when on the bike!
I don't like Schwalbe Pro Ones (seem to degrade too quickly, and puncture easily)
So that leaves me with Maxxis or Giant, and the Cadex Race tubeless seems the pick of that bunch.
Bump for the day crowd
I have been using them for 3 months or so.
Using the 25mm and as a winter tyres!
Still like using something fast in the wet season and being tubeless they are still puncture resistant.
A little bit leathery in feel like a tougher tyre at low speeds.
Found they feel better at higher speeds and I spose that makes sense as being a race tyre.
Still don't have as nice a feel as Hutchinson Fusion 5's which I have tried in Galactic and Performance models.
But maybe the Cadex are a bit tougher as no trouble with punctures or loss of air so far?
Running 68psi front and 70psi rear currently.
Using them on my daily commuter.
Doing just under 30 mile a day most days.
Thanks,
Max.
They're made for Giant by Maxxis just so you know...

Have you tried the One TLE instead? About 45-50g heavier (depending on size) than the Pro One, but usefully more puncture protected. They also last quite a lot longer, are barely any slower, grip just as well and are £15 cheaper RRP too...
Thanks both, really useful. Will check out the Pro One TLE.

I didn’t!
They came on my wife's Liv, went in tubeless easy and seem pretty good. gp5000s have a bit on them saying not to be used with hookless so I'm not surprised Giant found they didn't work.
