RE: Poly vs Rubber

[Rich Kinsley <rlkinsley@xxxxxxxxx>]

I totally agree. I don't have squeaks but it is a stiffer ride. I like 
to feel the road. I imagine they have all switched from poly to 
poly/graphite. It seems to me the poly stuff was red and the 
poly/graphite was black? I remember there was a color diff but not 100% 
sure which way.
