...anyone got any experience of these? I'm about to pull the trigger on a reduced Schwalbe One but would like to know more about these if possible - they're going on "fast" summer wheels and if I can cheat my way to a few watts...
Ta.
where's the reduced One and is it in 25mm (I know Ribble have em cheap but only in 23 and 28)?
If you want to "cheat" have you checked the rolling resistance article posted in a different thread

- suggests you want an S-works tyre or the GP4000S2.

Spesh turbo cotton. Don't bother with anything else if you just want speed. Though they are expensive and supposedly don't last that long (though mine seem to be holding up ok.)
GP4000S isn't as quick but seems to last well and is fairly robust.
Oh and latex tubes obviously.
Done about 200 km on mine. No appreciable difference to the Pro Service Course they replaced in terms of speed. I think you'd need to be a better cyclist than me to notice these alleged marginal gains. What I can tell you is I got a couple of cuts already that seem premature compared to my long term experience with the Service Course.
For reference: mine go on my <1400g summer wheels
just want speed
No, they will be club run / sportive type tyres. Maybe TT as well. I have 1 x Pro 4 Endurance in the mancave to go up front already.

Oh. Schwalbe One it is then.
Actually mine are the Competition ones, not Endurance.
