Ride reports on these? Looking for a tire I can daily ride, wondering if these are going to be robust enough. There are some well priced ones in 28mm on ebay I was thinking of trying out.

Do a search please. These have been out for quite a while and reviewed already.

Ran a 24/26 combo for the better part of a season. I found them to be nice all around tires. Decent road feel and I found the durability to be good. I am pretty much an FMB guy, and the One's were an experiment. I would think you"ll be happy with the One's. I would say relative to other options out there, I found them to be a bit on the expensive side. That being said, I see them on Wiggle for $55 700x28, thats a good price for a good tire!!

I have one on the disc wheel on my TT bike. Whatever excuses I have for not being faster, that tub is not one of them. Seems quite robust and, a little to my surprise, has a butyl inner tube and does not lose any air ever.

The tubeless/clincher version has a lot of results in the search (both on the forum and google), but not so much the tubular. Besides, it's not like this forum is that busy with new topics.


Thanks for the responses guys, after I ride through this set of Bontragers i have, these will be next. Might go 28 front and back for max plush.

Thats not One then, it has latex inner tube. But there is one older gen. shwalbe that has butyl inner, but it is made by Tufo - and that will make you slower a'm affraid...

And for the op, I have had Ones for couple of years now and they seem to ber very good alla around tubulars...no flats, cuts or faults and drive is nice as well.

It looks like this, are you saying this is a (gasp) rebadged Tufo?

i can confirm 28mm One is indeed buttyl. i got 310gm each, also seems not too bad for the size.

No, thats not Tufo. Seems like normal One. Little but puzled by this butyl thing, because every One i have had, was with latex inner...

I think Shwalbe has had rebadged Veloflex and Tufo in their line up, propably for pro teams, and some of those have ended up to customers. I bought the "Tufos" once, they were horrible...

That's a relief. It's definitely a butyl inner, the air retention is incredible. Wonder if they're pitching at a tri market now where race bikes get locked into parc ferme for the night before the race.

Agree, pretty similar to Contis. That's not a bad thing though!
I have 24mm ones on aluminium box sections and they roll OK, are grippy and seem to be durable.
Not as plush a ride as a nice Veloflex but a pretty good tire all things considering.
