Earlier this week I took delivery of a Felt F85, and compared to the Claud Butler I have been riding, I couldn't be happier. It's lighter, quicker, more comfortable and definately better looking :D Certainly a bike I would recommend.
One minor niggle though is the gear changing. Whenever I change gear, it sometimes seems like it is trying to go into another gear (almost like a half gear !). I'm not sure if this just a 'bedding in' issue or whether I have to make any adjustments. Has anyone else experienced something similar, and can offer any advice. Thanks.

    Sounds like there is a little adjustment required unless you are just not pushing the lever over enough when you change gear. LBS should be able to sort quickly.

    How about a pic of your new wheels :D

    Not sure if you have sorted this out yet, but its because the bike is set up for a triple. I have to press three times to get the chain from the granny ring to the big ring. Uber annoying

    twist the barrel adjuster a bit in half turn intervals and turn the pedals to see if its better, and then shift from sproket to sproket to see if its improved
