Hoping for some insights from the ST collective on this.Getting back into racing again and looking at options for my 2015 Felt IA.
WHEELS:
I know that wheels have gotten progressively wider over the years so I'm looking for tolerance/limitations on these frames. Does anybody have issues running 25mm wheels on these models? I was going to get 25mm wide w/25mm Clinchers & latex tubes (or Tubeless) for race day setup. Will I have any issues??
COCKPIT:
Alternatively, I'm curious about the cockpit setup. Are any risers available to angle the extensions up like I see on many modern bikes? Are there those extensions which wrap around the entire elbow and forearm available to us mortals yet? Speedbar I think was the name I saw on them in recent races.
FRAMESET: 2015 Felt IA 51cm(original model)
Thanks All!!
I've got a 2015 IA FRD, not sure if it's exactly the same. I run 23s to avoid clearance issues. They usually measure more than 23 anyway. 25s have fit in the past but I've felt rubbing in the rear.
And I upgraded the entire cockpit to a TriRig Alpha One because I needed that adjustability eventually, and wanted those full arm scoops. But prior to that I used AeroCoach 3d printed wedges to angle up the aero bars by about 15 degrees.
You can also get the TriRig scoops without the fill cockpit upgrade. I had that for a while.
Too old to go pro but doing it anyway
