Review on SCHWALBE Pro One TT Time Trial and Triathlon Tubeless Folding Bike Tire - Enhance Performance with Evolution Line, Addix Race, Multiple Sizes, Black/Tan by John Clark

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Simply feel good - not every day

I can only warmly recommend it. THIS IS A TIME TEST / TRIATHLON TIRE. Schwalbe rates it 2 out of 5 for puncture protection on its website. If you don't understand what that means or what a time trial tire is, I strongly recommend that you avoid this tire. Reviews complaining about flat tires are absurd. Someone even compared this tire to the Conti 5000 TL (via Flat Tires) - it's an apples-and-oranges comparison and if you understand why the comparison is inappropriate then this review is for you. These tires are FAST. The driving experience is phenomenal. And yes, they are aesthetic if you like that classic look. Note: They are fairly true to size (unlike previous Pro Ones). I've been driving exclusively on Vittoria and Specialized S-Works Cotton tires for 6 years. I think they feel even better than these tires. I use Specialized's new tire sealant on the kits I use on my daily commute. I've had flat tires, but the sealant is great and I don't even have to patch the tire (or do anything other than add about 10psi of air every 3-4 days).

Pros
  • handy article
Cons
  • so far so good
