Spent my first weekend on our partner Schwalbe’s products. I’m starting with their 25mm clincher Ones and light weight tubes before i invest in tubular product. Liz and i did a casual ride fri 2/13, nothing too technical but there was a quick descent. Tires felt fine and no punctures (considering this is my race setup- venge w/ deep dish zipps). Next day was folsom crit. I was able to go through the 2 fast corners at speed comfortably with no hicups from the rubber or feeling of instability. The real test was sunday at copper town where the run into town is super fun and technical. 2 right left transitions into town and a left right left out of town pout the bike and tires to the test as tansitioning on this bike has been an area of concern for me. The wider rubber and compound instilled confidence and i was able to rip through town like i love too! I look forward to trying the tubular stuff.

Love it. Thanks for the information. Heard that the Schwalbe Ones were really fast from another rider as well. Good to hear that the first impressions were not just a fluke.
