I have tons of experience with them, I have the 35's on my Trek Earl and Volume Cutter. Im running the 28's on my 1987 Cannondale and on the above State Undefeated. I think they are a absolutely great tire. Well above average flat protection when compared to other lower end tires in the same price point, like Continental Ultra Race and Continental Ultra Sport. Smooth easy skid if you care about that. I think they do measure out a little fatter then the listed 700x28c. If your bike has really tight tolerances they most likely wont fit. The ride quality is great but again they are bigger tires so its a more plush feel and a lot less "racey". I would recommend on a commuter or towny. They arnt light thats for sure the 35C's come in at 296 grams.

Your cog is slipping.
I just put one on the back of my 725 as well. I've literally only ridden on it twice but it feels really nice and I like it quite a bit so far. It doesn't seem like it will be quite as bombproof as a Rando but looks can be deceiving. We'll see how it holds up to the ****ty roads around here.

I recently bought some Deda Mistral fluo tape
So, that'll be happening soon.

If you can find flouro spokes, one on each wheel by the valve stem would be ace without being #chartreuseabuse
I'm a fan of tasteful hi-viz touches.
Case in point:

Latest conversion, was a 26" mtb Miyata Koga Ridgerunner SE.
I have since put on bar tape and adjusted the bars. Still need to dig another black strap out of the parts bin though.
Shimano 600 BB, Shimano 105 Cranks, Brooks b-17 and everything else is stock or from the parts bin.

Thats how mine is as well.. at first I thought it was awesome, I love ultra tight tolerances in product design. Then I just couldnt get the thought out of my mind, what would happen If for any reason my wheel becomes 2 or more mm out of true? Would it just jam and toss me over the bars? Also tire rub will quickly eat through paint and clear coat into the carbon. I think im to big of a pansy to leave mine like that.
