I was running 23's and 25's on mine and I know not all Calfees are identical. Since I race, they might have made mine a little stiffer than normal. I'm pretty sure it was the wheels that caused the handling problems because I don't have those issues with my Topolinos or Zipps.
i have used a front HED3 for close to 3,000 miles with no issues, hopefully adding the rear will not prove to be a problem. I will know more in a few days. We did a short 12 mile shakedown ride last night after it cooled off a bit, it seemed fine but we did not corner hard, this time of the year here in the Midwest that are putting light rock on the roads because of the heat. We are going to head out for a ride shortly.
