good to know. I might be able to fit a newer 28mm tire on my 19mm int rims at that rate. The Yksion Pros were measuring about 27mm.

Seemed good enough of a deal for me to pick up a pair in the 25mm size to replace a cut Yksion Pro UST tire. Schwalbe Pro One Tubeless, $34.34 each at Competitive Cyclist. It’s the older version without the newer Addix compound.
If you want wider and the newer compound: Merlin has those for a few extra ... $37.91. They’re sold out of the 25s.

I'm in this same boat: I've gone thru 5 Yksion Pro UST tires in less than two years. I'm sick of replacing them, just to have them puncture/cut in <200 miles. Hopefully these Schwalbe Pro Ones do a better job. At least with this deal I'm not eating the full cost every time I puncture. Thanks for the link

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the lack of durability is the main knock against the Pro 1. The new Pro 1 Addix has supposedly addressed that issue, but it's still relatively new, so the jury is still out. I think that I'm at ~1300 miles on mine and they've been stellar thus far.

FWIW... 2-pack 25mm Vittoria Corsa Controls back in stock at Excel at $79.. somehow better than any UK dealer. Really like this tire for tubed. Any tubeless users out there with reports yet on that version?

It's been on my shortlist to try for a little while. The Controls have a little more meat on the tread compared to the regular Corsa, but that's the extent of the difference, as far as I understand. In general, people report that the Corsa/Control TLRs are really nice tires but some users are quite adamant that they're a very, very difficult tire to mount. I still want to try them, but some of those reports seemed credible enough that they got bumped down a slot or two (in favor or the Pro One Addix). Hopefully I'll get around to them (or the new Pirelli) next year... or maybe even be appropriate for late fall/late winter and I could save some wear on the Pro Ones.

FWIW, the only difference between the Corsa Control and Corsa is the tread width, and Not the thickness. The control seems to extend the center tread area by 3mm vs. the non-Control. Makes a big difference IMO, at least on a 25mm tire, in being able to brush aside crap that might otherwise gouge the sidewall. I only ask about the TL variety as I now have a varietal of the Kinlin x31 wheels showing up soon; supposedly TL ready, though I intend to start with tubes.

Are those Light Bicycle rims any good, as in durable and relatively stiff? I have steered clear of them in the past on my MTBs but I am sure they have learned a lot these past 3-4 years. I need a gravel disc wheelset and one of their rims looks like it may fit the bill at 22mm wide and 28mm deep

Good to know! FYI, there are 2 sizes showing left of the T.Mille but they're the XLG and TIR sizes in blue (for big/tall people). I picked up a pair in my size in blue but that size is now sold out (maybe last pair).

Either I'm being geo-blocked OR all of the bibs are gone. By the time I arrived on the website there was nothing left in Assos.

I grabbed a few last week - they shipped quickly - and so far I like them a lot more than the Hutchinson Fusion 5 tires I was running.

I honestly really like these tires. They feel quite supple and comfy since transitioning from 25 to 28's.
