I am still running tubes (Conti Race Lites) with the GP5000 tires. And, I agree, the stock saddle on the Emonda is, indeed, comfy. However, I also did swap mine out - for the Verse Pro Carbon, along with a carbon seatpost. No complaints here!

I was thinking about the carbon seatpost too. I want to ride it with the new wheels first though. I bought a carbon seatpost for my aluminum Klein right before we left for Florida last December. I wish I had done that sooner.
Did you notice any difference when you installed the post, or did you change that and the wheels at the same time?
