June 5 is a 200k rando in San Diego, which may cut Esteban (and maybe
me) out. I'd prefer a May date.

I don't notice the issue. Have the same brakes on my Hillborne. 56cm

Almost sounds like you have too much braking force to cause the

I think I know. It involves the black cords and the little orange

That's my guess and I'm sticking to it. (which means it's probably 99

I've lowered the bars on the Romulus. I've been riding it comfortably

Yea, I'll be riding the Kitchen Creek 200K. Come on down for that,

You guys should just pick a day - I have a busy May with finals and

Esteban,
On the AHH, I tried to keep the bars higher for a while. I found that it hurt
my shoulders and arms. Upon lowering, I went back to be comfy again. Be careful
with the Brooks saddle. I've ever found the B17 to be comfortable on long rides

I no how it goes and it's okay. Kinda nice to have a simple quick

Second what he said, and go through the standards: Clean the rims with
alchohol, some even sand them lightly. If that does not do it try
lightly sanding or filing the pads to clean them as well. Next stop

I am squarely in the "change the bar height from time-to-time camp", often

the same.

I concur. Look at the Toupe saddle on my orange Ram:

And on a slightly loaded overnighter bike! It's one of those saddles that comes
in a slightly wider but not too wide size. I like it.
I think it all depends on how long your arms and torso are relative to
your height not forgetting your age, weight and flexibility. I know I
have short arms, am overweight, old and inflexible so my bikes are all
odd looking to most with a bar height of 2- 3 cm higher than the
saddle. I'm fine with
Very interesting, Esteban. :) I lower the bars from time to time, but only a
few cm's below the saddle, not as low as that though! I'll have to try it out,
now.
Did you adjust the saddle at all in response to the different position?

Totally. But after 15 years of working on and setting up bikes and buying the
