sturdier and ready for wider tires than many other Dura-Ace wheels
If you are grooving the grips for the cable, put the glue only under the bottom
of the grip so the groove in the cork has some structural strength? (Or

You could split the grips, wrap the bars with a single layer of cloth

I would vote to go back to 700x32. Also if you are trying to maximize
clearance, try a set of center pull brakes, if you are not using them
already and maybe ditch the daruma style mount and use a bracket that

Two points about Ergon "cork" grips: Not really cork, it's "cork look", and
they work great on swept back bars. There's one designed specifically for those
bars, but I've found that all Ergons work on them.

+1 to Joe’s comment. I hated the way my Atlantis handled with a front load
above the wheel. It’s much nicer with a rear load, or low riding front
panniers. My point of comparison is my Crust Lightning Bolt, which is a delight
with a front load.
To be completely honest, I think the need for car
=2. I took the front load off my AHH because I felt it made the steering

I have a front basket on all my bikes, but I don’t use them for regular/all the

on the bike for picking up food or other random things. As soon as I take one
