I've been very happy with them.
Knowing that the 4000's run "a little big" i.e. 25mm measure closer to 28mm and 28mm run closer to 30mm when mounted...
I've heard that the 5000's are closer to their indicated size so .... when I make the switch to the 5000's should I "size up" i.e. Run 28's on the Roubaix and 32's on the Sirrus?
(lots of frame/fork clearance with current 4000 set-up)
I would size up in that case. They're down by almost, but not quite, a full size. If a 23mm 4K is a squeeze, a 25mm 5K might not quite make it. If you say you have "lots" of clearance, sizing up will be much closer to the same size, though it might be ever-so-slightly larger.
