Hey Jon loved the review so much, I just went for it and got the new 700x34, F1R’s, putting them on tonight! Ran the initial eagle F1’s from last year 700x32 with the tan wall’s unfortunately I hit a nasty piece of glass last week on my first early spring ride here in Montreal Canada… took a 3 inch chunk off the grip and still made it back home.. I’ve been impressed with how well the can handle a little a beating on all surfaces. The new F1R Are definitely a different construction, looks more premium, there’s almost a purple hue to the more visually fibrous tan wall than the original f1s All about supporting that American racing heritage, it gives a mean look on my Matt black orbea..
I think you're going to love the 34mm's. I have about 2,000 miles on mine and they're showing about 50% wear. No reduction in speed whatsoever. I have a 28mm up front (34 on the back) but I won't go small than 30 again. It's just too smooth and fast of a ride going big on tires. Totally agree on the new build quality and branding. This is a top shelf tire that you can still get for 80 USD, and that's a winner to me. Glad you made it home with all that damage! Cheers to a beautiful season of outdoor riding in Quebec!!
I was just looking at those tires on the Goodyear website today, unfortunately they don't make a 26mm version of it. For some reason they jumped from 25 to 28mm. I just ordered a new set of 26mm carbon wheels to try to go tubeless with.
Between 25 and 26mm it'll come down to the internal width of the rim to see what size they actually measure when installed. I had a set of Vittorias that were listed at 25 and were 25.00 on a wheel with a 19mm internal width. When I put that same tire on a wheel with 21mm internal they measured just over 27mm. I got these 32's for comfort and protection. They don't seem any slower than 25's FWIW.
@@johndaly846 Unfortunately, according to Trek, the largest tire I can put on this bike is a 26mm so I am trying to go as wide as I can to give me a little comfort.
Can’t speak to the other tires, but these have really good puncture protection. I got 3,000 trouble-free miles out of this pair. I just replaced them a couple months ago when the TWI was flush on the rear. Not even a plug. Regarding 25mm, that’s a thin tire by today’s standards. Hunt says 28s and 25s are nearly identical in the wind. I’m riding a 34 in the back and 28 up front. They feel fast but I have no numbers to claim.
@@johndaly846 The Rule of 105 states that the rim must be at least 105% the width of the tire if you have any chance of re-capturing airflow from the tire and controlling it or smoothing it.
@@Pablo_Coach using that 105 rule, I’m good on the front with a 28. The wheelset is Hunt Limitless 60, which is 34 wide. It’s exactly the same as the tire diameter with my 34 on the back. I suspect the rear matters less for aero, but I can confirm that a 34 rear tubeless at 55 psi feels like a cloud on bad pavement. I didn’t know about the 105 rule, so thank you for that! I like the number 105. That’s my Shimano product of choice. Cheers! 🍻
@@johndaly846 Ok I understand You. I didn't know that the Allez sprint frame have clearance for 34c tire -wow! I live in Poland, in the Subcarpatian Voivodeship, and we have excellent quality asphalt here, so I'm comfortable with 25c tubeless, but without sealant (on my wheels with 21mm internal width tires are actually have 27mm). In my gravel bike I use 45c. Thank You for the Goodyeay F1 R review, I am considering them instead of the current IRC Formula Pro RBCC. Cheers!
@@Pablo_Coach very cool! I am proud to say I've been to your country. I've been to Poznan, Drawsko Pomorskie, and of course Warsaw. I didn't make it to your part, but I was very impressed. It's a beautiful country with good roads to ride bikes on. The lanes are narrow but cars would overtake with care as there are many people on bikes. Thanks for stopping by and good luck on either tire you choose!

Good luck mounting them, by the way! They're no better or worse than other tubeless tires to mount, but it's still always an adventure!

I wonder if they will be faster than my IRC Formula PRO RBCC 25c and how about puncture resistance. I'm only considering 25c for speed reasons

This tyre for hookless?
No I think it needs a hooked wheel for retention. I'm not sold that hookless wheels are safe.
Works on both hooked and hookless
