I like the look of that bag too.
What brand/model is it?
I've got two versions of that bag. I like that it has depth, rather than length in the smaller bag. Complaints - the flaps over the zippers bow out rather than lie flat. I'd only swap it out for one with more supported sides. I've washed it a few times in the clothes washer and keeps coming out looking new.

Keep in mind you'll need side or semi-side exit cages. Elite Cannible work well and are cheap.

Have just over 100k on them now, and they have tons of traction and comfort. Just awesome.
At 38psi rear, 35 psi front, they feel Almost like Cyclocross tires.

Glad to hear it! Gonna be a lil while before I get to test them out. Any stretch after a few rides? Kinda hoping they end up being over 40mm. Did you use the Challenge sealant, or something else? Was reading that it's recommended due to the type of rubber.

Did you mount that front fender in reverse on purpose? Why?

Got mine. Still waiting on the light bicycle wheels they are going on though.
I expect they are still a month away. Ordered a month ago.

Interesting development from the big S. 435g per 42mm tire is quite nice, especially if they can roll faster and feel better than the already fast Pro model

I am really stoked to get my hands on these. I am interested to see if these are nearly as grippy as the Pro, with them having a significantly shallower thread from the look of it.

I tried to find out if Terra Speed is hookless compatible, didn't really find a clear answer anywhere. I assume it is, can anyone confirm this?

I was running them on zipp 303s hookless. No issues for me.

Pretty sure Continental only states if a tire IS NOT hookless-compatible via writing on the tire.

The Conti GP5K TL had such writing, while the newer TR do not. The Terra Speed and Trail don't have than language either so they should be safe for use on hookless rims.
