So this is the outcome of the first week of testing them (51x16) riding them through London and back, plus a little abuse from London to Cambridge and so far so good, the knobby texture that came with the new surface is pretty much gone and now I'm left with this, I must say although this is a 23c (also measured the tyre its a 23c, just looked smaller due to rim) it stops really well, I just need to get use to the new squeaky sound compared to the hardshell, but overall so far to good, will report in a month later to see whats what, although I will be riding them with 51x19 setup from now on.
