When I bought the S-Works Creo 2 it come with Specialized Tracer 700c x 50mm tan walls. Firstly I don't like tan wall tyres and my second set of wheels for my first Creo 2 has 47mm tyres fitted which come out at just under 50mm and 51mm. I will be using the S-Works mainly in the summer / dry weather so I wanted a narrower tyre with not too big a knobble pattern on. I found a pair of these Schwalbe G-One's on CDNE bike sales which were removed from a new bike and just like new. After the third ride I got a cut to the rear tyre which was approx 6mm long and would not seal. I shopped around for a replacement as I did not want odd tyres on a brand new bike and Merlin Cycles had them in stock and in the sale. They are very tight fitting on the Royal wheelset but once aired up they sealed ok. You can defo noticed the difference in comfort coming from 2.2" and 50mm tyres, these have very little give so going to play with the pressures. Grip and cornering has been spot on and touch wood no more cuts to the tyre. The are about bang on the manufacturers claimed weight of 490g, see photos below. It is too early to tell how long they will last tread wear wise but at the moment there is no problems.
RRP £49.99 and I paid £32.52 from Merlin Cycles inc 48hr p&p. Discount 35%
