Seems like there is a new top top in 2019, the Conti GP 5000 with a pretty nice rolling resistance. Has anyone already tried them?
Thinking to use them with Mavic Ellipse for trainings. Going to use them with a latex tube.
I'm just wondering what do you guys suggest as a rim tape? Shall I use the bundled nylon one or there are better options, especially in connection with latex tube?

I'm also really interested in comparison between the GP5000 and Veloflex Record in open tubular version. The Records are about 25% lighter and takes up to 145 psi but the GP seems to be really really fast one. I am curious which one would be faster for a summer league :-)

Speaking of pressures. A tubular version of the Record has also 145 psi max. It is not much for track tubulars. How much pressure do you give this tubular?
