I've got a few more rides on the Hutchinson 28's since I posted that update.....I like them more and more. Ride quality is off the charts good, and as I've stated before, I've got thousands of miles on road tubeless without a flat (using Stan's sealant). The only downside is that they are very pricey tires. Good luck-

Good to hear... I'm getting them at $56 each... a bit steep, but if they're as flat resistant as tubeless seems to be versus conventional, I'll recoup in the long run. They sound ideal for an urban setting.

The Schwalbe One is in the states now as well, but not the 28mm...every dealer I've contacted has them on order but they haven't arrived and I can't wait because I'm picking up the new ride this upcoming Tuesday...

$56 each is a very good price for those tires......All of the Hutchinson road tubeless tires are good ones IMO. The Maxxis Padrones have a much more delicate bead, I don't recommend them. I haven't used or seen Schwalbe's road tubeless tires in person, but it's good that more brands are offering road tubeless.. I think you'll be very pleased with the Hutchinsons.

You should be able to run tubeless tires at lower pressures than tubed tires, since there's no worry of pinch flats. Right?

Correct. With mountain biking especially, that's one of the main advantages. I run my 29 x 2.25 mountain bike tires tubeless at 26 psi front, 28 psi rear. If I did that with tubes, I would pinch flat regularly. Without tubes at that pressure, I get much better traction and the tires soak up the trail for better ride quality and control. With road tubeless, you can run lower pressures and get better ride quality without concerns of a pinch flat as well. With these 28mm tires we're talking about, I'm running pressures in the 80's and with tubes with tires that size I'd run them in the 90's.

I suspect you could run them even lower on your 28's. But I don't really know.

I think you're right. With road tubeless, there's a school of thought that lower pressures, to a degree, provide less rolling resistance than somewhat over-inflated tires bouncing down the road, and that's one of the selling points. However, there's a point, obviously, where too little pressure causes the tire to not roll as easily, either. With the Hutchinson 28's we're talking about, I'm getting really excellent ride quality on bumpy pavement and the tires still "feel" fast, whatever that means. Again, I've been running them in the 80's. If I were to ride some particularly crummy roads with them, I'd probably go a little lower with the pressure. Rider weight makes a difference, too. I weigh 160 FWIW.
