I put on an Ultegra 12-27 cassette and conti GP 4000 S tires. Also got some CF bottle cages (closeout pricing FTW - check out nashbar, they have 'em for $18/ea).

I've been running the 4000 S for probably about 1k mi now, so far so good. Flat protection is on par with my old gator skins( so far ). Since these tires were mounted, I've been cornering much faster, the tires sticks to the road much better than the gators, or Hutchinson pros I've used before. When these are done, I'm probably gonna try a pair of Utremos, I hear they are even stickier and uses the same Vectran tech.
