Yes great bike. Seriously long extensions but I guess it works for you :) I was curious as to why you have a 22mm tire on the back wheel and what I'm assuming a 23mm Conti 4000s in the front? Is the disc wider than the front wheel?

Disc is narrower, I ended up running a GP 4000 SII this weekend at Galveston due to the bead blowing out on the rear Attack. It was an older attack tire that I raced on all last season, but didn't see any problems with it till 930pm night before the race, there was a bulge in the side wall.

Disc is narrower, it is a traditional HED JET Disc.

I'm also running a TriRig Alpha on my Falco V. Do you feel that the bars are sufficiently gripped by the Falco stem? I tightened mine up to the printed torques and used some assembly paste, but it slips when I hit one of the many potholes in my area.

I initially had problems, but put some carbon paste on there and tightened the bolts down with my "calibrated elbow" and haven't had problems since.

I don't have any experience with your specific setup, but I eliminated a long time slipping problem by completely disassembling, cleaning thoroughly with alcohol solvent (which doesn't leave any residue) and then coating all mating surfaces with a carbon assembly paste and then tightening to spec. I think the cleaning is what made a difference from my previous attempts.
