Got everything installed on my FX2 over the weekend and this morning did my 25km commute into work.

Tires.
- very smooth rolling
- very quite
- go over bumps and road imperfections with ease and comfort
- pick up any and all small gravel / stones along the way and you hear them hitting fenders, no big deal but never had this happen before
- no idea about puncture resistance, my Schwalbe Marathons took me over 5K km without a puncture

Shoes.
Got a full size larger than my Shimano road shoes and they will good.
Lots of room in the toe area and are very walkable.
If I swap laces for black they will look like any other shoe.
Hardly any clicking from cleats.
I will try and wear them in the gym see how that goes for my final test.
