Well, I got two of these... Panaracer GravelKing SS + Plus ProTite 700x28 Semi-Slick Tire
Last time I raced Boulder Roubaix, I thought I needed to be fast on the road and the gravel would just be survival. I was wrong... The road was slow, the gravel was like a crit. At midnight. I hope these help a bit.

Last time I was so gassed hanging with those guys after the dirt, it was all I could do to recover to hang with on the next section. If it was all dirt then all pavement, I would give it a shot if I were feeling good. Unfortunately, it's around a mile or two of dirt, a mile or two of pavement throughout the lap of 15 or so miles.

WhyFi curious about your thoughts.
Challenge lists their Strada Bianca Pro as hookless compatible in 33 and up. Enve lists the 30 as approved on their 25 wide SES AR. Wondering if you’d trust it or stick with what the manufacturer says. Since Zipp doesn’t test- I’m thinking I can trust the 30, but who knows.
I imagine that the 33 is about as fast as the GP5k 32 since the 36 is only like a watt slower. I’m probably over thinking it.

I'd personally skip it, unless I found them really compelling vs other options.
Oh, FWIW, I'm loving the LS PTTJ

Huh. I wonder if it's just a pressure thing. Looking at their chart, they seem pretty conservative on the wide rim front, as well - they don't even want their 30mm on a 23mm int width rim. I used to reference Enve's compatibly chart for the G23, since it has the same internal width, but I they don't seem to have a compatibility chart for that wheelset anymore. 
I'd personally skip it, unless I found them really compelling vs other options.
Do they just pass along a personalized discount code? I assume, then, that you can go with any color you want, too? I haven't inquired in to a size-down, yet, but I'm probably going to soonish. A couple of weeks ago, I got an LS Pro Team Training jersey in M, and I'm liking the fit more than two SS versions that I have in L.

. The front-facing panels of the SS version are really airy, but the LS version is still light enough for year-round use, I think. Since I wear sun sleeves all of the time, anyway, that's perfect for me.

I wish the the PTTJs had the little zipped valuables pocket, but other than that, I love 'em - highly recommended. The material feels nicer than the Core (and that's not saying that the Core is bad), they're lightweight and stretchy, and the sleeves are a little longer (in the SS version). They are not made for modesty, though - sized properly, they've got that almost painted-on fit and they can be a little see-though, particularly in lighter colors.

I have some Eliel stuff that is painted on, it’s super lightweight and has the valuables zipper as well. I need to broaden my jersey brand horizons, maybe some T6

A couple of weeks ago a a guy was shot and lay dying on the street. Video footage shows two un-involved people going through the dying man's pockets. Stay classy, Philly.

Looking for a spring theme.
