Review for the 38mm Schwalbe Pro One TLE tire. I installed a 38mm Pro One TLE to replace a worn 34mm Pro One TLE on my Specialized Turbo Creo e-bike that I use for work commuting, which is a 48 mile round trip commute. The extra 4mm width added some comfort/cush to the stiff riding frame. Commuted 1500 miles on this (rear) tire with no issues. Held air just fine and no flats in over 1600 miles commuting. Some conditions include sticks/twigs/debris on a canopy covered trail. Tire is starting to square off but after 1600 miles w/ average speed at 21.3mph with the power of an e-bike, I'd say this tire handled it just fine.
Fizik always knocks it out of the park with their products. My bike feels like it has a brand new life with how gorgeous this tape looks. It feels great too. They also include extra sections to hide the exposed part of where there would be a gap in the wrap just under the shifter/brake hoods. I found there was plenty of tape to generously wrap. The only thing that wasn't super compatible with my bike was the endcaps. However, this tape easily worked with my old end caps, so it wasn't an issue, and they're definitely reusable.
I was looking for a handlebar that had a long enough center section to run some in-line brakes on my X-Fire that i have generally used as a trail bike. Long before Gravel bikes made the scene i have been using Cyclocross bikes to trail ride. i bought a pair of these bars, one for my geared and one for my single speed X-Fires. They are comfortable, dampen fairly well and well within my budget. I run carbon bars on my road bikes and mtn bikes, but found myself not wanting to spend a lot of money for two sets of bars. This bar is a great bar if you are on a budget and not too hung up on having to have carbon. Flare is not excessive and the reach and drop are comfortable.
I bought this for my lightweight TCR build, and it is definitely a very light aero option. I find it difficult to find a comfortable position on the top section, as a result of the swept forward design. It forces my elbows outward, which isn't natural for me. Also keep in mind the forward position will alter one's regular fit. I had to install a shorter stem to compensate. It's a pretty flexy bar, imo. I don't mind it, but it's worth pointing out. I don't understand why this thing costs so much.
