Glad to see so many users have shared their experiences.
Has anyone else also found that the cream version weigh slightly more due to the extra layer of colored rubber? I'm undecided whether they roll slightly slower due to the thicker sidewalls. Jarno, of BicycleRollingResistance dot com, told me they haven't tested this version yet but it is certainly plausible that they may be slightly slower (if only just a few watts) than the black or transparent models. OTOH, that extra layer might offer greater sidewall flat protection... not to say that sidewall cuts are problematic with regular GP5000s.

i don't know how much the cream version would gum up the watts, but I'd not consider it an issue if I were going for a certain look. The penalty is likely very minimal anyway.

They still had some thread on them, but I decided to swap because of this:
