Small point of distinction, perhaps, but the G-One is a micro-knob, not a semi-slick; there is just no part of the tread that is slick.
Also, would you qualify the assertion that, at 45psi, they roll almost as well as 25c at 100psi? I mean, like, in terms of speed? I'd expect that they'd be much harder to sustain speeds of +20mph on than the narrower, high-pressure tire.
I run the even more micro micro-knobbed S-One 30c tubeless, and yeah, they roll as easily as 23c up to about 17mph or so, but knocking out stretches of pavement at 21mph or so takes a bit more effort. I've not done comparisons with a power meter, or even swapped my 23c wheelset in for the 30c, so I might be talking out my ass, but this is something I've noticed, so I'm curious if others find it that way, too.
