Swapped my 23s out for Conti 25s (bike is P3) and lbs adjusted "stays" on rear to move tire away from bridge/frame (hope that is correct terminology). Rode 2-3 times, did St Anthony's, rode a couple more times no issue. Air up today (same psi front and rear) and got a severe rub, enough it was slowing bike, so I stopped and parked it, but obviously rubbing. Any thoughts?

"lbs adjusted "stays" on rear to move tire away from bridge/frame"
looks like the there is just a little more adjustment required... my P3 has always had 25mm tires, either Schwalbe or Michelin without incident.

Taking it in today, and I'm hoping that is indeed just the case. One odd thing I didn't mention it appears to be rubbing on the left side(towards the center but left of mid rib) and only on a few spots. Tires have less than 100 miles, bike has less than 400

It is less than 2 months old, had to order and wait for it. Lbs adjusted those little screws out and clearance is good now, but being a bigger guy I hope those screws don't bend on me.

Make sure the quick release is tight enough to hold the wheel. Too many people rely on those little screws to hold the wheel in place.
Not a new problem

Awesome! Thank you so much, I'm mechanical enough I can remedy this. Honestly I had heard this forum could be tough on noobs like me but I have found nothing but support and help here. Thanks again!

A bent screw can mean a crash or a DNF. Thank you Cervelo for this smart system that punishes the user.
Who is going to do 700W intervals with race wheels juste before a race to see if the skewers are tight enough?
With time or bc skewer is not tight enough, a wheel with 25mm tires will rub and screws can bend.
If it can fail, it will fail. One day.
