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.

We took a nice little 22 mile ride this morning, it was very hot and humid even at 7:00 in the morning, the bike handled fine, no problem. The ride is a little stiffer, I will lower the tire pressure a few pounds and see how that works.
