A week of commuting and a longer ride through Kent and Surrey on the s-one's and I think I can now make some judgement as to their suitability for the particular task for which I procured them (cobble bashing at roubaix).
Overall, I think they'll do the trick, but even running them tubeless at 48/53 psi they are just not as supple as a race tyre+latex tube. They're mounted to novatec thirtys with a 25mm wide run.
Positives are: mounted first time no problems, great grip, tubeless, iron out the worst hits from crap surfaces. They are quite heavy as you'd expect, but I'm hoping the extra sturdy construction will get me through the rest of winter and p-r without picking up tread / sidewall gashes etc.
