Hi
After useing tubbies for 20 years , new bike trek SC comes with disc brakes so all my race wheels which are tubular are now obsolete
Looking at best race day option , needs to be fast but also good puncture protection
So many options out there in regards to tyre size , and pressure etc
I’m definitely not going tubeless so leave that option out please
Wheels are bontrager rsl 60 front 75 rear
So at this point I’ve narrowed it down to either of these
Gp 5000 TT
GP 5000 s
Pirelli P zero race
Proably looking at 25 front , 28 rear and TPU tubes
So any feed back on the tyres , tubes (not going latex or tubeless) pressures and sizing for race day (generally ride around 5hr 15min)
Also on ease of fit as gp 5000 can be seriously hard to get on/off
I’m 63 kg and a bit of a dinosaur so I’m struggling to understand or be convinced on the current trend of wide tyres and low pressures (lve run 25 conti comps tubbies at 100 psi for ever )
Thanks
