Veteran  293   Somewhere training in Rocklin, CA |  Subject: Felt / FLOI've been following the Felt Mafia posts but thought I would post the newest rendition of my ride with the new FLO 60/90 mounted. She's all dressed up and ready for the dance (Lavaman Waikoloa, Ironman Hawaii 70.3, Vineman 70.3).

| Oakville | Subject: RE: Felt / FLO Sweet! I've also got the 60/90 setup on my B16 and picked up a wheelbuilder cover on Black Friday. Very frustrating that its been below freezing up here since they arrived. Can't wait to take it out for a ride. Are the speed gains noticeable over the stock TTR4s?

Veteran 293 Somewhere training in Rocklin, CA | Subject: RE: Felt / FLO I rode the same 30 mi route on Sun (stock) and Thurs (FLO). I may have been pushing a bit harder with the new setup but comparing the second half of each ride being more tired and more uphill my avg speed went up from 17.1 to 18.6. Planning a longer flat TT ride on Sun that I've done numerous times to better compare old and new. It may be psychological but it seemed easier to maintain a higher speed over a longer distance than previous. |

Member 43 | Subject: RE: Felt / FLO Nice wheels. Im placing my order this week. Do you guys use a power meter? I talked to Wheelbuilder yesterday about a disc cover. Hows the fit? While I had them on the line I asked about lacing a PT to the wheel. I was under the impression that it couldnt be done with the Flo wheel but they said they could do it. Do you guys train and race on your wheels? Thanks. |

My wheelcover is set to arrive on Tuesday. The wheels are FAST. But like most FLO owners, I have nothing to compare them to other than my stock Felt rims. |

Veteran 293 Somewhere training in Rocklin, CA | Subject: RE: Felt / FLO I don't use a power meter but do monitor heart rate in training but not in races. Given the design with a traditional rim and carbon fairing/non-tubular, I will be training on them and given the width it's too difficult to switch back and forth adjusting brakes and the gearing is about 1/2 off between rim types. |

cpzone - What kind of bento box/bag is that? You could go on vacation! Does it have just the 3 velcro straps on the bottom or does it have one in the front also? Does it move at all? If it helps, the Speedpack 483 uses a different type of velcro strap system, one that makes for a 100% secure (so zero movement) top tube mount and one that doesn't need to attach to a stem or steerer tube. Which means that it works great on superbikes, or any tri bike with top tube entry cables behind the stem, or any bike with a super low 'slammed' stem. And we designed the 483's advanced shape using a NACA airfoil, so that the pack can be fully in the airflow with minimal aero penalty. Plain and simple, it's not like any other bento type pack out there. Edited by DarkSpeedWorks 2013-02-18 11:19 AM |

Regular 85 Grand Rapids, MI | Subject: RE: Felt / FLO Are you guys using stock brakes with the Felt/Flo combination? I'm borrowing a Flo wheelset from a friend for my B16 and he said there was a challenge getting the brakes to allow adequate room for the rims. Any tips would be appreciated. |

| Veteran 405 New York, Connecticut | Subject: RE: Felt / FLO How do you all like FLO wheels. I was debating getting a set last order but didn't pull the trigger. I have a team discount of 30% on Bontrager Wheels and am debating FLO or BonTs. |

| 71 | Subject: RE: Felt / FLO I had to take the spacers from behind the brake pad and move them to the outside of the caliper arm on my B12. Then there was enough room for the wheel. |

Might wanna adjust to aerobars so they're a tad lower! |
