Schwalbe G-One AllRounds are STILL a great buy in 2020

[@trwilliams22]

Hey, its 2023 and they are still a great option.

[@ericgelders]

Sooo, I really doubted to put these on my bike, bc they seemed to be too good to be true. But your review somehow gave me the final push to buy a set and put them on my bike. In short: excellent choice, and for the price point €35 here in the Netherlands, probably the best choice for its purpose. My hybrid fitness/commuter biker can now handle offroad trails as wel as tarmac. Tarmac performance (grip levels) are slightly (but only very slightly) down compared to the previous tyre (Schwalbe Spicer, a semi slick), but it rolls way more comfortable and with low resistance! On gravel, I got a completely new bike, so to say!

[@AsantePE]

I have used these tires in the Netherlands mostly on pavement and a maybe once a week on gravel and trails (Maastricht and stuff) and I have to say great tires. Also for long distance audax rides 300km+ however .... The rear tire is almost dead after 2700km might get another 500 km but then it's gone

[@mdsouz4]

Do you run them tubeless?

[@ericgelders]

@@mdsouz4 No, I don't run them tubeless, my bike doesn't have rims for tubeless tyres.

[@meccanised]

Love watching your videos, because I recognise all the trails and roads, Mt Osmond, Cleland and the Bullock track, plus I am contemplating these tyres, double win.

[@Generalterz]

I'm using the G-One Allround Performance (LiteSkin) TUBELESS even if it's not TLE. After loosing air through the sidewalls initially, now it's getting better and holds air better and better with every ride. However, the density does NOT get better with pumping the tire up, shaking it and putting it into the garage ... so it has to be ridden. I'm very satisfied with the versatility of the G-One.

[@edwardtang1977]

I love the look of these tires. 😚

[@tnstef2629]

My bike came stock with 35c G Ones. At the same time I bought Schwalbe Marathon. I spend a bit more time on road than gravel and wanted that smoother on road ride. I’ll have to experiment making them tubeless.

[@JustRideAdelaide]

I've had both the Marathons and G-Ones too. Tubeless makes a MASSIVE differene to comfort. Highly recommend giving it a shit.

[@relaksj]

@steffan Millar and Ride Adelaide,. What were your respective experiences with both tyres? I mainly do my commutes on London roads, but on weekends do light gravel and grass woodlands. Much appreciated . Excellent video by the way!

[@tnstef2629]

JS K the Marathons do much better on road. They are quieter as well. On gravel I’ve had no concern for traction. I ride mostly on 2”-. Any larger and I would look at some 40s or 44. The G Ones are actually a bit lighter and have more grab. You will notice a little hum as well.

[@akkoonassis9045]

I got a set of these in 700x40, and I love them. I guess between this video and now Schwalbe delivered on your plea for larger sizes. They're even pretty fantastic on snow and ice as it's currently winter and I've had to ride over some seriously treacherous garbage and they just do it, ive only gone down once very lightly on ice that I wouldn't even be able to walk over . I've been running tubes , and you're right about the ride being a bit harsh. It's pretty comfortable at lower pressure but I was hoping for more of a plush ride. I want even fatter tires than 40s so next time I'm getting something in 45 that's knobby, perhaps a maxxis tire since I love their MTB tires

[@hikewild5694]

Wow you cram so much USEFUL info into your tyre reviews. Honest and easy to digest without the waffle and waste so many videos suffer from! Thank you from the UK (new subscriber here too :-) )

[@JustRideAdelaide]

Ahhh thanks so much mate! Glad that I could help out!

[@rabomarc]

I have these very tyres on my 3T Exploro, they are perfect for dry gravel, very good on road (only slightly slower than on my former road bike with P Zero Velos). The Schwalbes don’t work well on mud but this is understandable - you just can’t have everything. I’m very happy that I went from road to gravel - I don’t feel I compromised anything (I was never racing) and I got so many new possibilities. As much as I enjoy riding them I’m tempted to try some tires that are slick in the centre and threaded on sides like WTB Byway which should be similar on gravel but maybe a bit better on road.

[@JustRideAdelaide]

Personally I'm happy to trade tarmac speed for grip on slidey stuff. Coincidentally, the other dude in this video is riding a 3t Exploro with WTB Byways on it. He's a sick bike handler so he loves the sliding. Personally I'm not s talented so I take the safer option!

[@michaelrepa5900]

@@JustRideAdelaide Can you please tell me how these compare to the Bontrager GR1 team issus. It seems like a very similar tread pattern. Any insight would be great. I am riding on a mix of tarmac and gravel, more coarse gravel, than the dusty stuff. I'm thinking the Bontrager GR1's would be fine. There isn't much choice available because of the pandemic. I really enjoy your content and reviews. Keep it up.

[@JustRideAdelaide]

@@michaelrepa5900 Thanks for the kind words mate! The short answer is that I can't tell you much about the Bontrager tyres. I can tell you that Trek don't answer my emails though! I do know someone who used a set and found them very versatile and quite liked them. Unfortunately no experience from me though.

[@peterbaskind9872]

I have a set on my Trek CheckPoint. I like them fine. I’m not impressed with their ability to avoid puncture, but that may just be me. I don’t like the odd gray lettering on the sidewall; it looks like it was supposed to be white, but is permanently dirty. Again, maybe it’s just me.

Fantastic review, Mate. Wish they made these for a 29+ in a 2.8. I ride a Trek 1120 and would love to use these on single track, rail-trails mixed in with some asphalts

[@JustRideAdelaide]

Thanks dude! OMG, 29x2.8 would be sick for quick rolling in the dry.

[@lemizle]

I've got some 27.5 x 2.8" coming in the mail. And I'm pretty excited to try them out! They would be great on a mountain bike in the dry, I agree.

[@Ropetable]

i think they make that now.

[@morningtidefilms]

Just got the 27.5 2.8 installed, and holy crap these things are stiff. What a massive downgrade from my rocket rons (oem), plus they don’t accelerate as fast. Can’t believe how disappointing these are given how much I loved the 27.5 2.35 g one speeds from a few years ago. Definitely smooth on pavement but awful for what I had hoped to do with them.

[@stevoc123]

I loved the g-ones and used then since they came out but the continental terra speed it better at everything. Nicer on road, more grip on gravel and more importantly there is grip on the shoulder so you don’t have that wash out you get with the g-one tread pattern. They also mount tubeless with less effort and are lighter in weight.

[@JustRideAdelaide]

Oh yeah, no arguments from me! Those Terra Speeds are excellent tyres. I've found their wear rate just so damn high though. I'm thinking once I've thrashed out the rear Terra Speed and G-One Allround I'll make a badass hybrid with a Terra Speed on the front and move the front G-One to the back. I'm expecting that to be a sweet combo.

[@antone9751]

Ritchey Shield WCS...Amazing tyre! Wish they were easier to get here in Australia.

Thanks for your tubes and webs so nice to find ozzie honest style. Lucky me, my gravel bike fits front 700 x 2.25, but 40mm rear. I find it is the front that matters. Kind of like the hardtail to ride, allow the worst impacts on the front.

[@JustRideAdelaide]

Ahhh glad to hear it mate! That's quite a range you can fit. What's the bike? It would be pretty fun to chuck a Maxxis Ikon in the front and then a standard gravel tyre at the rear.

[@healthycycles6078]

@@JustRideAdelaide oh I've converted a 26 inch giant xtc2. So drop bars, compensated carbon forks and gone to mechanical disks using sora 3 x 9 gears with shimano 105 road triple. It's worked so well. I can use 700 or 26 wheels in any combo I choose tire clearance permitting! Sometimes I use 700 x 2.25 front and 26 x 2.4 maxis dth rear both tubeless! It works surprisingly well and is somewhat unique. Thanks for replying!

[@jethrobodine4638]

I am used to riding my Domane SL 5 road bike and wanted to ride more old railroad gravel trails this summer, so i purchased the Trek Checkpoint ALR 5 2019 (new) as inventory is hard to find these days. The new bike comes with Schwalbe G ones, unsure size but i went ahead and purchased some Gravel Kings SK+ 38cc. (plan to go tubeless). the trails i will be riding has some wet dirt areas and bigger gravel in sections. hope i made the right choice? i also got the GK SK with the tan walls!!

[@robertwilliammayers]

I have been riding these tyres on a very similar bike (Ribble CGR Ti) for about three months now, and generally agree with you. My experience is: low rolling resistance on the straight, slightly heavy/sluggish up hills, sketchy around loose turns. No punctures yet. While I have nothing to compare them with on this bike yet, I've been researching a replacement so was looking for the WTB Raddler 40s. My guess was that rolling should be similar due to similar tread, hills should be similar due to similar weight, but loose turns might be improved due to bigger side knobs. No real idea how puncture protection would compare... Have you had any experience with the Raddlers? Obviously, I'm expecting more of an iteration on the G-Ones as opposed to something life changing here. And although the 44mm versions would be best for shorter agro dirt and gravel fun, I'm riding this year's 200km Dirty Reiver so have a feeling the lighter and lower rolling resistance of the 40s will help keep legs fresh as the priority!

[@JustRideAdelaide]

Not yet but I'd love to give them a shot! Really great looking tread pattern on them for gravel. I feel their size options are still not quite right though. A 40 mm in 700c is really all the gravel riders get. I'd love a 43 or 45 in 700c, and a 50 mm or 2.0" for 650b.

[@mokotramp]

Apparently the rolling resistance is shite? Try a Conti contact speed, ok they're not tubesless, but man they're fast and handle gravel and hardback fabulously!

[@josephxkendrick]

Strange... I am just about to buy some of these to smash deliveries around Oslo. Switching out some studded Schwalbe Marathon Winter tyres which literally weigh a ton because spring is starting now so no ice to worry about. Looking forward to being a lot faster up the hills!

schwalbe g-one speed vs continental terra speed? which is faster on asphalt?

Why do some of these tires have a gold "1" and some have a white"1"? my 35s have the gold one and the 38s have a white "1". I really like them.

I'm going to guess it's how Schwalbe distinguishes their 7 thousand variants of tyre, tread, tubeless compatility, compound, and everything else.

Would you prefer the Schwalbe G-One Bites over the Allrounds? I am using the G-One Bites right now (40mm) but I am curious what the difference would be using 35mm Allrounds...

[@JustRideAdelaide]

I'd take the Bites in winter and the Allrounds in summer. Generally the Allrounds are great most places but get a little slide happy in the wet

[@tomcolls9264]

How do you compare them to the Gravelkings/SKs?

[@tomcolls9264]

Wasnt sure in the vid when you mentioned GKs if you meant the regular or SKs

[@JustRideAdelaide]

Yo Tom! I did indeed mean the SKs. Sometimes I forget that they call so many tyres GravelKings. So, I'd take the G-One Allrounds over GravelKing SKs if both were 35/38mm width. I find the tread pattern better on the G-Ones; better grip on the loose stuff, and they feel a little quicker on road. That said, there's way better size options in the GravelKings so I'd take a 43 mm GravelKing SK over a 38mm G-One Allround.

35c tires also are bigger on the bike? My frame put up to 36 (triban 520RC) and dont know if it will fit

Most gravel tyres tend to measure about 2mm wider than what their claimed width is. Make sure you have a little bit of extra room to accomodate.

[@DigspaseOfficial]

How different is the rolling, grip, wear resistance and puncture resistance between performance and evolution versions g-one?

@@buzzscreen8365 I see. I think you are referring to locking the wheel when braking. But i believe its best to avoid doing that especially when going downhill.

Wow... uhhh.... yeah they're great for tarmac and gravel but I'm a little worried at how you're losing traction climbing dry tarmac roads. I have no idea how that's possible.
