500 Mile Review - Sports

I've driven it 500 miles on almost every road. They are currently on my Diamondback Haanjo 5C with a DT Swiss XM 401. I have them tubeless with stan tape, sealant, valves. Pros: β€’ Fairly quiet on the road. β€’ Good enough off-road traction to explore a bit. β€’ Fairly fast, even on bumps. Pretty close to my Conti Grand Prix 5k. Much faster than 650 x 47 WTB Byways.β€’ Easy assembly on the rim with little effort.β€’ Tubeless assembly is easy. I even managed to plant them with a floor pump. Bad: β€’ Lots of apartments. I started taking hoses with me on every ride in case I couldn't patch or reattach the hole β€’ The rear end wore out fairly quickly; by no means bare, but the front end is still almost like new. β€’ Did I mention ballet flats? I don't know if that was the only pair I got, but that's crazy. Sometimes I'm lucky and don't get an apartment for a week and then I get an apartment 2 or 3 days in a row. Conclusion: Based on my experience with flats, I probably won't buy them again. After all, they were my second choice since the Pirelli Cinturato Gravel M was out of stock.

Pros
  • Sturdy finish
Cons
  • Damaged
