I was thinking about ordering some for two '80s Trek frames I have. They originally came with 27" wheels, so clearance shouldn't be a problem.
I've put about 1700 miles on one and 900 on another. I am not wowed by them and both are now in spare mode and the higher mileage one is marginal at that. I did not have good flat luck with them, even considered one a cursed tire but I think it was just bad luck. I found them easy to mount and easy to open up and patch. I'm pretty sure the tubes aren't latex, which surprised me. Are they Schwalbe's fancy new stuff? I haven't found a whole lot of 30mm road tire options so, despite all that, at that price, I ordered 3 more even though I much prefer 28mm Veloflex for road feel and durability. I have no idea about speed.
