| Maybe we should start a post and see how many we can get. I am on a team but I could switch. Have you test rode the new AR series? |

Maybe we should just pick a day on RAGBRAI and all ride together! We could all get "Felt" up!! Sorry - just couldn't resist the pun!

| My wife even laughed at that one. She thinks Ragbrai is nothing but bare boobs and beer. (I hate to tell her she is right) Seriously. If you ride past a yellow and black F70 Felt, just yell GOOSE and I will know who you are. |

| My red and black LeMond Maiilot Jaune (how's that for irony) has red Conti GP4000s and I have a helmet that matches the bike. I had over 1100 miles before RAGBRAI last year. This year I almost have 500 so far. Color coordination is FAR more important than training! |

Hey all!
I just purchased red Michelin Pro 3 Tires for my Red Cannondale.
What do you think of them if you have them? I hear good things about them, but what I really want to know is the traction on a mossy, wet, wood bridge. Would my bike slide out from under me with these tires?
Still healing from this happening with a different set of tires. Please say the traction is superior!
See you at RAGBRAI!! Cannot wait! |

I only use the Pro Race 3's on my road bikes. They are a very light and very fast tire, but they don't wear well or last long. They are also very thin. I've had good luck with puncture resistance, but I know others have not. They are really designed for racing, not long distance or loaded touring.
As far as traction, I don't think any tires, except a knobby would offer decent traction on a wet wooden bridge. These ones certainly won't. Wet wood is slick as ice. |

| The GP4000s have served me well in wet conditions. I believe the GP4000S (chili compound) is supposed to be a little better on wet pavement, but it doesn't come in red. And coloro coordination is the way to go! |

Just put two new Continental Ultra Gator Skins on my Bianchi. The old ones had 3,000+ miles on them and they are still in good shape. I wanted new tires before RAGBRAI. I also had to replace my saddle about 2 weeks ago. Hated to do it that close to RAGBRAI but the old one split open and I had no choice. It is still a bit stiff but it's getting better. I'm ready for Iowa!

| Hey Zinger, what model Felt are you riding? |

Mine's a 5 year old F90. For an inexpensive, entry-level bike, it's been fabulous!! Someday I might upgrade, but will stick with the Felts. |
