Veteran 302 Oak Park, IL | Subject: RE: New Bike...'11 Felt B16 Interesting... How'd you get your hands on a 2011?? It wasn't until sometime around November last year that we even got to see pics of the 2010 lineup... I think... Very cool. |

All of the manufacturers are having to launch 2011's way early because their sales/production forecasts were all garbage. |

Veteran 294 Lake Spivey, GA | Subject: RE: New Bike...'11 Felt B16 Felt's website doesn't even show the B16 yet. You must know somebody that knows somebody! So, there's a 2011 B16 and a DA. Where's the B2? |

Veteran 197 | Subject: RE: New Bike...'11 Felt B16 I work at a LBS here in Dallas and we just got a shipment of the B16s in. They are pretty sweet and getting alot of attention, I'm curious to see what the rest of the line looks like. |

| Member 16 | Subject: RE: New Bike...'11 Felt B16 They just 'showed up'. Went in looking for a new bike and was told all the '10's were not in my size, in short supply or gone...then he says "Well, I do have something over here that just came in, but it is still in the box...." That's about it. |

Extreme Veteran 569 Austin, TX | Subject: RE: New Bike...'11 Felt B16 Verah nice!! Beware those nifty little grips on the pursuit bars though. They will slide around on you. I almost wiped out on my Felt that has those as I was pulling hard on a climb. I have learned a way to hold on so they won't slip now but I'd rather not have to think about it. Planning to cut 'em off and wrap bar tape instead one of these days. |

| Member 16 | Subject: RE: New Bike...'11 Felt B16 Probably more so than a 50/50 split..also, after now having put in quite a few miles, a few changes are in order over the basic initial set up seen in the pic. |

| Member 16 | Subject: RE: New Bike...'11 Felt B16 Tyrell, Thanks for the heads up! Also, I have come to the conclusion that the gel arm rests need modified in some way because they get awfully slick with perspiration down here in the FL humidity... |

Also, I have come to the conclusion that the gel arm rests need modified in some way because they get awfully slick with perspiration down here in the FL humidity... I found out the hard way on this and almost lost a couple of times. My solution was strips of medical bandage tape. It's worked well so far. |

Master 1929 Midlothian, VA | Subject: RE: New Bike...'11 Felt B16 I'm beginning to think I am the only one whose B16 did NOT come with the white tires... I liked the arm rests when I first saw them, but they aren't particularly comfortable, and I imagine they would be slippery when wet. I have heard good things about CeeGees so I think I will be picking up some Cushies. Loving the bike so far. (Purchased Nov. 1st) I did a short ride yesterday, but I made it a brick so I am pretty sore. Even so, the temp is in the 60s now so I'm probably going to go out again today.

I find my comfortable, but you imagine correct. They are pretty slippery when wet. |

same thing happened to me on my B14. i took black electrical tape to them, and they work just fine (like most things in triathlon, electrical tape and black zip ties fix just about all of it). |
