Who wanted to know about Forte slicks in the rain?

I cant find the original post, but somebody wanted to know how they would do in the rain. I got to find out yesterday, and I can say they work great at slower speeds. My inner 10 year old came out while riding in the rain (I live just outside of Chicago and we had lots of flooding after rain that was starting to look kind of Biblical) yesterday, and went through some flooding that was deep enough to come up over my ankles while at bottom dead center. That was more fun than Ive had in ages!

I have the same tires and I agree with you. They were a pain to get on the rim though.
