Will be interesting to see how they hold up over time. 2K miles from a rear, and 3-3.5K from a front is kinda my acceptable lower limit.

Running the tubeless 28's at 72/75 psi on my older alloy 2.1 Madone (compared to 25c tubed Ultrasports) completely transformed it from a buzz-prone bike that I was looking to get rid of, to a bike I actually really like for everyday riding and training.
Glad they are working out for you especially at that price. I enjoyed the ride on them as well.
I got some Sectors 28 that roll really nice and grip well on both pavement and gravel. The price was right for them from Excel.
