I tried an early Cambium C17 but experienced it eating all my shorts very quickly and it seemed the fabric textured top was responsible. I saw one in a shop the other day and it looked smoother. Are there different textures available or did it get updated at some point? I found the saddle comfortable and would consider putting one back on my rain bike if the texture is improved.

I've been riding a B-17 for about ten years and have a Gyes Flyer knock-off. I recently tried a Cambium C15 for a few days. It has nice shock absorbing qualities but I didn't care for the texture at all. As mentioned above, I felt much more chafing action as it grabbed onto my shorts. I also found it much more difficult to reposition myself as I've grown accustomed to just sliding along smooth leather, the C15 required me to stand up and sit back down. I much prefer a smooth leather saddle.

[RBW] Re: Hetres vs. Pari-Moto, your thoughts?
I have both Pari Motos and Hetres and have ridden a good amount of miles on each. As far as speed goes, I can't feel too much difference between the to two- both are very fast. The difference between either of these tires to a stepped down like Col de la Vie is much more noticeable than the difference between them. I can attest to the fragility of the Pari Moto as I've had a couple of slashes from road debris while I've had none on the Hetre. As for comfort, the Hetre is better. Bumps are better neutralized and cornering is slightly more confident. If I had to pick one to ride with for the rest of my days, it would be the Hetre. Fast and comfortable. I will likely try Hetre EL, tubeless next time. Since you just bought Motos, I recommend wearing them out and then trying some Hetres when they need replacing.

[RBW] Re: Shimano bar-end shifters Albatross bars for commuting
Hi Erl, I will just add that I too commute on a Surly LHT. Before committing to the Albatross bars you may want to take a closer look at the mustache bars. You will get the same hand position as the Alba bar out on the ends, but you also get many other useful (and aggressive) hand positions all the way up to the stem as well. I heartily endorse this setup with the Shimano bar ends for city commuting! Yes you can fly through the gears, up and down just as quickly as grip shifters, and no they wont break. Mine have been rocking trouble free for over five years of near daily use with many bike spills. They have a few scratches on the plastic end caps but never a malfunction. Going with cloth bar wrap (shellacked) gives a natural transition from bar to shifter so you can even comfortably rest your palms on the ends for the most upright position. If you're a v-brake guy like I am, Tektro makes a linear pull road lever that works perfectly on the mustache as well. I have a second bike with the Albatross bar and it's OK. I like it fine for cruising down to the corner store for a six-pack but it's not as comfortable as the mustache for distances similar to your commute. Cheers to new bars!

[RBW] Re: Handlebar
I have the Nitto B135 Rando bar. I believe it's 42mm at the ends of the flared drops and only about 36 or 37mm at the hoods. At first, I very much disliked it, probably just because I'm used to riding way wider mustache bars on my daily commuter. Although the shape was comfy, I just couldn't generate any power when sprinting. However, as the months have gone by and as my muscles have adapted, I've really grown to appreciate this bar. This is on a standard 80's racing style bike, so mid to high trail, I'd guess. I'd keep riding it but it has a terrible creak from the sleeve so I'm considering replacing it with the Grand Bois as it's similarly shaped in theory but most people regard it as even more comfortable. In regards to the question of a wider Rando bar, look at the Velo Orange one, it comes in much wider sizes.
