Hey gang, I've found myself becoming increasingly irritated with my 61cm Atlantis' handling in the turns. At higher speeds (greater than about 15 mph), it feels fine, but at lower speeds I find it near impossible to hold a line in a turn. It feels like the bike is pushing me to the outside of the turn, and I have to wrestle with it to keep the turn tight. On my Ramboulliet, the turns are seemingly effortless, and the bike simply goes where I want it to go with a very light touch on the handlebars. I don't know if it's possible to duplicate this effect on the Atlantis; the geometries are different in many ways, but I'd like to try.
I'm running 33mm Jack Brown tires, and I have a Hoss saddlebag on the back with between 5 and 10 pounds in it most days. I use drop bars roughly level with the saddle. I don't know if dropping the weight lower into panniers would help, or if I need more weight in the front end, or if I should try different (narrower?) tires. It could very well be my riding technique! Lot of things to try, but I thought I'd pick the collective brain before I start throwing money around. Any suggestions?
