  • Just got some 28c GP5000s. They are... Good. But I'm not blown away. The last year or so has been on Corsa's and Turbo Cotton's, so I'm missing the flex of a cotton case, but they're certainly fast.

    The compound feels good so far but I haven't yet found much cornering confidence in them - I suspect I'll need to play with pressure quite a lot.

    Interestingly, I've found that my braking power has increased because the rubber compound is so, so grippy.

  • GP5000 way more superior puncture protection than Corsa IMO.

    Turbo Cotton is absolute king in terms of ride feel and speed, but puncture performace is very much squeaky bum time.

    I've ridden all three tyres on roads in Isle of Wight on pretty much same road bike and for blend of puncture peformance and ride feel GP5000 wins. However I have seen some strange sidewall failures in this forum also...
