So I have been using (new) Schwalbe Pro One TT TLE Addix tyres in 700c x 28mm for 5x 100km rides.
People on here (@umop3pisdn & @amey I believe) joked that there were condoms thicker than those tyres and they were right!
I have punctured both tyres on each of the 5 rides, really glad the tubeless system has worked as I didn't have to stop.
What I have noticed is if I pump up the tyre to 100psi, the punctures which have sealed just pop again. 80psi seems to be the limit.
On each ride, the pressure of each tyre steadily decreased has punctures happened, down to about 30psi.
In short, save those for race day and I am now looking for puncture proof tubeless 28mm tyres
IRC is the way to go.
Yeah, they cost a lot, but they don't shred to shit like Pro1 or Hutchinson.
