Haven't updated in a while... so here goes. Both bikes crossed the 1k mile mark during yesterday's ride. So far all has been great needing nothing other than airing the tires, cleaning and lubing the chain. I have purchased some Schalbe Pro Ones (700x25 and 27.5x25) so I can go tubeless once the original tires wear out. So far the originals are hanging in there though. The rear one on my bike still has not flatted off the center yet. So hopeful to get another 750 - 1000 miles out of them. One of the problems with my wife's bike is that Canyon uses a 650b wheel set on their xs frames. That really restricts tire choice especially if you are going tubeless and the widest you can go is 32 mm. A big question is "is the cost of the RoadLites worth it?" To both of us the answer is a big yes. They seem to be far superior in every way to our Giant FastRoad CoMax 1"s, which are fantastic to begin with. Of course the only real problem is that both sets of bikes have to deal with their respective old engines
