I have them too only 25mm and 28mm in stock

Fitted them to my carbon disc brake wheels today. Easy on floor pump up.

I like the Contis 5000 as well. Actually, I run the non-tubeless ones tubeless. After a week or so, the sides were airtight.
They are on my rims because it was friggin impossible to put the Schwalbe Pro Ones on that I had intended for this particular wheelset. And that, it seems, happens to others as well - Bike24.de accepted the Pro Ones being returned without any hassle.

I am 69kg and runnnig them at 75PSI, but they feel a bit ‘hard’ compared to my Corsa G+ clinchers. Is this normal? Was expecting a more supple ride.

Very interesting! What sealant are you using? Do they stay on the rim when they deflate?

Do they stay on the rim when they deflate?

This is far more dependent on the rim the GP5K TL is mounted on rather than the GP5K itself. I'm actually concerned my GP5K beads will be difficult to pop out of the bead-lock.

has anyone tried the new Dyna Plug Air?

[TobinHatesYou]

The DynaPlug Air was originally released a while ago, but it didn’t support road bike tires...the outlet was placed too high on nozzle. If you buy one, make sure you get the road bike kit.

I just carry a DynaPlug Racer and the smallest pump I could find (Topeak Micro Rocket.)

Who's got experience with 5000 vs 4000? the regular version, don't care about tubeless
are the sidewalls any thicker on the 5000?

[petromyzon]

Jarno measured them and they were the same. 0.55mm.

[jhalmar]

Mounted GP5000TL 25mm on Roval CLX 50 DISC (internal 20,7mm, external 29,4mm). It did hold the air without sealant by using floor pump. When deflated it did not stay on the rim but with sealant that might not be the same. With floor pump it did hold the air again easily.
I measured the width right after installation:
4,95bar 26,6mm
5,98bar 26,8-27,2
7,04bar 27,1-27,4mm
The width wasn’t exactly the same on different sections of the tire but that might settle after a while?

I am from Finland so will be testing outside on april.

The varying width is normal and will stay like that. I see that on all of my tires. When I post tire width measurements I take an average of five measurements.

No one should be advocating running a road tyre that's not tubeless, tubeless and saying after a week it fine. The bead on the non tubeless tyre is not the same and that's were the issue can be. If your going to run tubeless great tlget a tubeless tyre. If your not great then use frickin inner tubes in the non tubeless tyre.

My 5000 TL felt a bit ‘hard’ (coming from Corsa clinchers). What’s other people’s opinion about the comfort of these new 5000 TL? Was expecting more comfort.
