No It was ok for an entire year and a bout 2000 miles, then last week I started hearing a click when the right pedal is at about 2:30, but only when spinning. Its silent if I am mashing or out of the saddle. I have done all the other stuff lubed eeverything, still..... click click click.
Its better than the litespeed. That is a knock knock knock. On either side when I am out of the saddle. Oh well, I still have the Orbea' if I have to ride.

You give me hope and rationalization for growing the fleet.... Look dear, all the other kids have lotsa nice bikes (for my wife, who checks occasionally checks my BF activities).

I was loyal to the GP3000s and 4000s. Loyalty is important, so I never considered a different tire because the Contis performed so well.

Then a buddy gave me the Pro3s. Incredible. They're fast like the 4000s, excellent in the rain, and the flat protection has been spectacular. The same result on both bikes.

I have no interest in Crits. Was my thing (was the only thing going on) 20 years ago. The ground seems harder now.

well, maybe a little interest, but only if I could get dropped quickly and ride safely by myself. Shouldn't be to hard.
