What tape are you running? I just wrapped bars with some Service Course CX tape. Zipp - Speed Weaponry | Accessories | Accessories | Service Course cyclocross handlebar tape, and trying to see if I like it. Before I was running 3mm Fizik tape. I might go back to the Fizik tape. I am not used to running a thicker tape (padded). Has anyone else had experince with the Zipp tape?

When I finish paying for it I will have a Cannondale Synapse 5 105 2013 year so it was discounted
I have it on layaway at my LBS
Right now I have a mountain bike with road/hybrid tires. My husband bought me the tires and had my bike reworked in April. Since then I have rode over 600 miles and finally topped a mountain with 1000 feet gain in 2.5 miles. Thought I'd die. I can't wait to get my road bike hopefully by Christmas. I am riding my mountain bike with road biker friends so I think I'll kick butt when I get the road bike
At the top of my first mountain ascent.

Hey all - new to the forum, and new to the road bike world. I just upgraded from my Trek 7.3 FX hybrid (fitted with bar ends for longer rides) to a Trek Madone 2.1. This is the only picture I have of it thus far - I got a flat tire 10 miles into my first ride on it...happy to report I've ridden almost 100 miles since then (about two weeks) with no further flats or issues. Having a great time so far - did my first 25 miler today. That's 5 miles farther than I ever went on the hybrid, and my average pace was almost 2 MPH faster as well. Almost time to take back to the LBS and get the cables readjusted.

Thanks - my FX is same color as your Madone. I also kept mine, to go for bike rides with the kids, and I think I'm going to try and turn it into a half hybrid-half cyclocross bike. It will also be my bike to ride in the slop weather in the early Spring/late Fall (midwesterner).
