I can't perceive any difference in how well they roll, but they certainly feel lighter and more lively than the 30mm G-One Speeds that they replaced. They're not quite as cushy of a magic carpet ride though, in fairness, I'm running the new tires 5psi higher. I think that I can lower that to match the 65f/70f of the G-Ones (those pressure figures were from when I was 20+ lbs heavier, so I should be good), so I'll try that on the next outing.

Power and speed figures aren't terribly helpful, either. I will say that, by perceived effort, it wasn't a terribly tough ride, but my average/weighted average power figures, along with average speed () say that it was actually a pretty good effort over this course (for me ).
What kind of ambient temperature?
