So is there a road tubed vs tubeless consensus? I'm due a new pair for the incoming new bike. I've been running TL for c. 2500km and have had a largely good experience but the one flat I had (that I noticed) needed the cavalry calling in, which is a worry. On the other hand, with all the potholes round here, not having to worry about pinch flats is a bonus.
Also, are GP5000 still the gold standard for a fast but not too fragile tyre? Would like 28s, ideally tan wall, and have looked at Challenge (but apparently a puncture-fest) and Rene Herse (but megabucks).
