Any recommendation for a Tubeless tyre for the upcoming Paris-Roubaix challenge? I'll be riding it on my arkose so will have bags of clearance.
I keep reading rave reviews of the G-One Speeds but I'm also somewhat conscious that the event may go quite some way to destroying whichever tyres I choose to do it on. Given that the G-Ones cost upwards of £80/pair I'm reluctant to go this route. Is this concern even a real one?
I also plan to use these tyres for fatt-ish tyre'd road rides thereafter, including my commutes. I'd like a somewhat fast tyre if possible, with good wet weather grip. Given the above, would something like a GK slick be a good option (lesser cost concerns)? Pirelli cinturato velo 35? (similar cost concerns, lesser durability concerns as these are meant to be pretty damn tough)
Or lastly do I forget the tubeless idea for this event, if fears of new tyre destruction are indeed appropriate, and just use something cheap that I don't mind destroying, such as gatorskin 32 which I already have.
Any thoughts much appreciated!
