No complains on how they look. Got plenty of good comments on how sick my bike looks with these tires. Very hard to mount. Have to put some muscle grease to snap them on. I run tubeless. Dry mounted them first and they weren't holding the air in. Once I put the sealant, air held in nicely. The tires feel great and descending has never been better for me. My only concern now is the durability since I got a puncture on my rear tire after 225 miles. The sealant sealed it pretty good and was able to finish my ride. I will remove the tire and patch up the tire for peace of mind. Depending on how the tires hold up, I will update the tires durability. Roads and trails I normally ride on are pretty clean btw
Had a hard time installing the Schwalbe 2020 ONE TLE 700c Road Tire on my 38mm carbon wheels, even used the Tire Bead Jack from Kool Stop. Once I got one side of tire on the rim, the other side of the tire wants to come off the rim. Somehow, I got the tire on the rim, tried to inflated it to get the tire seated with my air compressor, didn't want to inflate. Tried all the tricks I know to get the tire inflated, with no success.
Finally, I installed it on my 50mm carbon wheels with more success, and left it with that.
Overall, the Schwalbe 2020 ONE TLE rides pretty smooth, and I like the gumwall look on my Allez Elite.
I've been only running tubeless on my Black Inc 50's and needed a new pair of rubbers for my tubeless setup. Chose the Schwalbe's because they seem to be the only tubeless ready tire on the market in gumwall. I had on Conti GP 5000 tubeless ready and those things went on and off with very little effort. The Schwalbes, thats another story. Bring lots of patience and several sets of tire levers. It's kind of funny how they call them TLE which stands for "Tubeless Easy Technology" because installing them is anything but easy...
I have had these for 1000 miles now and not one problem with them...except for maybe they are a bit stained from brake dust which showed up after a couple of wet rides. I even tried washing and scrubbing it off!
25mm tires mounted tubeless with 60cc stans on Belgium Plus rims at 60-65psi and I weigh 175#.
Really haven't had a better tire experience! I've never lost air during a ride, never even noticed the sealant plug any holes and I ride over broken glass nearly every ride around the city streets of San Francisco. Will definitely try to wear these ones out.
This is a very good tubeless tire. It is my second pair, the first pair was the older model. I got over 2000 miles on the first pair, could have ridden it some more, but I don't believe in getting every last mile out of a pair of tires. Does seem to be worth the loss in performance and safety to save a few dollars. My only issue was the first time I mounted the tires it was hard, I don't think it would be possible without a compressor.
I use Schwalbe tires for both my road and mountain bikes. Their performance and quality are better than most brands. These road tires are tubeless ready and perform well for everyday riding.
Smooth ride and long lasting
I like the quality of the tire, it grips well and looks great. The only thing I'm not stoked on is that it fits narrow, my previous tires on the same rims were wider than advertised (Donelly) but these are fitting slightly narrower than advertised.
Easier to install than other tubeless tires I have tried . Tire feels very supple and comfortable. Only a couple hundred miles in, so I can't speak to durability or overall longevity (knock on wood). So far so good. I see why they are very popular.
Not as good as the PRO ONE as far as rolling resistance, but less expensive and a little more durable
I have had a few of these and like the mileage I get out of them. I have even patched a few with bigger holes and had good luck with them. I have gotten better at mounting them quicker and use them on a set of MAVIC Kysirium Elites rim brakes.
I could not purchase Conti's as they were on back order, so bought the Schwalbe's. I could not get the Schwalbe's properly seated. Eventually took to my LBS and they said Schwalbe's are the hardest to seat. I overpaid for some Conti tubeless in 25 mm width from the LBS and the conti's work great.
I had high hopes for these - I really did, but not being able to mount them was the first and only issue. I was not able to ride them at all. I broke two sets of tire levers trying to mount.
So, I had high hopes but they were quickly dashed. Sorry Schwalbe - these didn't even make it to the road test.
Was able to fit the tire at the gas station with their compressor. It rolls well and seems fairly durable. My one gripe is how tight it was to fit. It took everything I had to get that tire bead over the rim.
Bought this tire, but returned it after seeing that it is actually a yellow tire, not a traditional gumwall. Kinda bummed. Hopefully given the huge trend of gumwall tires, there will be more options for Tubeless soon.
I ordered this tire after looking high and low for a decent gum-walled tubeless ready tire, but when it arrived the "Classic tan" is much more of a dark yellow (sorta dehydrated urine color). I wasn't a fan so I just returned them without ever trying to mount them or testing them. Just an FYI to anyone else looking for that classic Vittoria gum-wall look.
Great road tire that handles well and has a great look. I've ridden schwalbe for 10 years on all my mountain bikes and was a no brained when I started riding road bikes. Great company that makes a top of the line tire.
Mounted and seated in 5 minutes, no Stans needed for initial sealing, it makes it less messy to mount the tire
These tires are working great. I've got over 800 miles on the first pair I've tried and they look like they've got 1,000 to go. Super nice ride, roll and at 80-90 psi a great sweet spot for more or less compliance. I'm running the 28s on a Ti Lynskey Premier road frame with Hunt All Season Road wheels, a deluxe ride. I went with these vs. the lighter Pro One for a bitter more durability and they've held up great so far. I've run them on several long stretches of packed and loose gravel. Running tubeless with Orange Seal Endurance sealant, looks like a few minor seals have occurred but never seem to drop in pressure, and hold air for days. They were a little tricky to get seated on 20mm internal rim width, but tube in overnight to form the case did the trick, so be patient mounting on wider rims. And I love the color in black. If I didn't I wouldn't mark it down to 3 stars because I picked the wrong color ,) .
Seemed like nice tires, in line w previous Schwalbes I've owned. I just couldn't get over the color of these. I'm generally really into browntan sidewalls. I like the Specialized, Teravail, Panaracer and Vittoria offerings when it comes to tan sidewalls. This color is off to me. It's more of a puke brown, too much orange vs a true brown or tan. i returned them for that reason. That don't look great w my all black and white bike.
