Thanks, figured it out tonight. At first I thought maybe I was underinflated and the wheels were creaking. I ran the Bontrager R1's I had before at 65 and 70 psi (F/R), but I saw the Continentals have much higher recommended pressures. So I inflated both to 90 psi, and it didn't help. Then I took off the front fender (since I thought the problem was in front), and that didn't help either. Finally I took off the rear fender (which is a bit of a pain since I need to remove the wheel), and that was it! Maybe these tires are a little wider that the 32's I had before, or I just wasn't careful enough installing the fender. Must be close, since they are fine on the stand. Funny how I was sure the problem was in front. It's going to be dry the next couple of days, so I'll reinstall the fender when I get a chance and see if I can get more clearance.
