Thanks Eric. It is indeed a 26” Atlantis with Rat Trap Pass Tires (good eye). I’ve been really enjoying the plush nature of those tires. Quite a switch up from my previous aluminum bike with 35 mm tires. Rides like a dream. Appreciate the insight on the levers. I actually raised them up a bit yesterday (but not quite as high as they were placed originally) and it feels just right. Guess I just needed to play with it a bit. Love the Hillborne, and saw your other post. Hope you can get that derailleur hanger braised on there soon! On Friday, July 28, 2023 at 2:59:03 PM UTC-4 [email protected] wrote:
