Now I'm back to using GP5000's...
somewhat similar experience on the cottons, although the punctures came in clusters, maddeningly close together, from a mix of tiny pieces of glass and possibly a tiny bit of wire. the worst part was even a few rotations post-flat to get to a safe stop caused delamination too, making them very short lived.
i don’t find the graphics on the new 5000s at all obtrusive. very subtle (more subtle in real life than in this photo)
