I ordered mine from R2-bike and they shipped with DHL on the 21st. Last update was the infamous IPZ Frankfurt on the 22nd.
Hopefully they arrive one day

Thanks Tobin, will try my luck with bike-discount.TobinHatesYou wrote: ↑Mon Nov 01, 2021 5:14 am
I'm in the US but these are from bike-discount.de. They had many 25s and were low on 28s when I ordered about a week ago. They seem to be out of everything now.
The US distributor (Highway Two) hasn't shipped tires to any shops yet AFAIK.

Another 28c TL on my rear wheel today.
Went on by hand and seated with a track pump.
Best tyres I have ever used. Nothing else is even close.
Pissed off they aren't making them anymore tbh.
I'll have to grab some more if I can and chuck them in the drawer for future use.
Edit; or not. Too slow it appears.

Couldn't get my 25c to seat on my Aeox titan wheels at all for what it's worth. Running them with tubes for now and must say i'm pleasantly surprised how subtle the are.
Wasn't as much of a shock coming from a set of turbo cottons are i remember it being with the old 5000s.

That's about the same as my 28 TL's on 23mm internal, at least within the margin of error (about 30.5mm)

My pair of 28mm transparent tires come in at 272 and 274g compared to my 28mm TL that come in at 321 and 323g.
So 97g savings.
They definitely were not easy to mount on my Light Bicycle WR50 rims but not terribly difficult either. I could've used a 3rd hand.
Front tire seated first try with a track pump, 2nd tire did not seat with the track pump but did seat with my diy garden sprayer tubeless booster that holds 35psi.
Test ride on Sunday.

Have any 25mm riders got feedback? I'm wondering about real size and comfort compared to others. I'm considering them for a 19c internal rim.
Thx. I would try them...maybe when the discounts start around black friday?
I'm more concerned about punctures...as the 5000 TL weren't all that great compared to the 4000S II.

My experience is they are far, far better when used tubeless.
4000S2 were ok ime but not as good as the TL.
My rear TL had 2 bits of broken tyre wire in it. Kept losing pressure between rides.
So I had a closer inspection.
2 bits of wire dug out with a knife and tweezers.
Sealant did the job and it kept going another 1000k.
Just changed it recently due to wear
Very happy with them.
I ran both tubed and tubeless (TL)...still had more punctures than previous versions of Contis. I'm hoping the 5000S TR will be my next tire.

I thought the TLs were nigh on impossible to install and sent them back. The STRs are pretty damned tight when new too, but this time around I managed with one of these. If I had this tool for the TLs, I may have succeeded with those too. The main thing for me is that the STRs loosen up considerably after initial mounting, and I can reinstall them without any tools, which can matter for on the road repairs.
