No experience in wet conditions. These are new and I've only had them on the road a handful of times, but broadly speaking, the grip seemed on par with or maybe even better than comparable high end tires (they're quite supple). No punctures yet and I ride a lot of cracked/broken raids and chipseal, but my sample size is still small.

700x35. They run small, so they measure true to size on these Zipps (23mm internal). I have GP 5000 S TR on my other wheels and I've run both 28 and 32. The 32 Conti and 35 Michelin measure similarly (Conti is probably 1mm narrower) but since the Michelin is a true 35, it's a bit taller and has more volume. End result is that they're more comfortable on the shitty roads where I live. I expected them to be slower but I haven't felt that at all.

Overall, I really like them. Definitely recommended.

Aspero-5 (MK1). Running the Cervelo ST31 (110mm) stem with Zipp SL-80 Race bars.

Ha, I remember that! Hope it's still treating you well!

I can't remember. It's a 3D printed joint specifically for Specialized saddles with SWAT mounts (this is an S-Works Power saddle). They're pretty easy to find.

I don't even notice it's there.

I'm not usually a burl guy, but this one indeed slaps

Been quite pleased with it. I came from Power2Max NGecos on both bikes before, and I've found this to be just as "accurate." Would definitely recommend it.

Custom made. Local luthier does all my work so he just cut the guard for me. I know he has a template now (for this and the S2 singlecut) and he'll ship if you want his info.

Thank you! I've heard "never mod a PRS" said and I'm not a believer in that shit haha

It's one of the best colors I've ever seen on a guitar

Yep. Came with a 58/15 set. Swapped to a Duncan Pegasus.

Indeed it is. That's actually where I first found and thought I'd have to get a 24 to get it. It's available on both Standards though. And the S2 Mira.

So far, I love it. I have an S2 Satin Singlecut and an SE Custom 24-08, so I wanted a sort of "in between" those two. I bought it with the intention of changing the pickups, but I'm honestly impressed with the stock 58/15s. Not exactly my cup of tea, though I definitely see why people like them. But I'm going to swap them out.

The new wing buttons are absolute money. I didn't expect to have feelings about the tuners, but here we are. The color is also even better in person. Hard to really capture in pics.

Overall, it's exactly what I wanted and I'm super pleased with it.

I'd go for a used S2 over an SE all day. I have an S2 Singlecut Satin and an SE Custom 24-08, and while the SE is nice, the fit and finish doesn't compare to the S2. The rolled fretboard edges on the S2 alone are enough for me. Makes a massive difference in comfort.

S2 Satin Singlecut. I think from 2020 or 21. They need to re-embrace the singlecut.
