I know, I know, the original tires were just fine, did not need changing...
I have had the bike on a set of rollers here at my office the last few days... and it is a bit squirrelier than my Domane on the rollers....
I got the bright idea that is I put 25's on it like the Domane has, it might be a bit easier on the roller...
so quick trip over to the LBS and picked up a set of Conti Grand Prix 4000s II... mount them, jump on the rollers and immediately the wheels tucked...oops...
I looked at the bike, did not see anything.... figured I just had a brain fart, so back on and tucked the wheels again....Damn...
it turns out that the wire connecting the brake arms on the rear brake will lightly rub the rear tire and when under load that light rub turns into a grabbing rub....so off came the conti's and the original tire goes back on... the conti's are about a 1/4 to 3/8 taller than the 23's that were on there.
