I will admit that the time I rode the loop road, it was probably 8-9

issues with parked cars. I'm sure it's different this time of year,
though.

Very interesting comparisons and ideas about effects on speed and handling.
Wonder what would happen if you put ultralight 650c rims and tires on your bike
to make for light wheel weight and see if they spin up faster.
Or, perhaps, a frame designed for 700c won't work its best with another
I put many miles on 26X2.35 and 700C X 2.35 Big Apples, both Regular and
Liteskin. They roll very very well for their anvil-like weight (though you
certainly feel them on the hills) and they are the one tire I've ridden in
all my life that can survive our bosque goathead hell without sealant!
What's your height and PBH?

If your question relates to the relative weight of the two wheelsets I used

I would anti-recommend the Loop road in Acadia. There are just too many
cars parked in the right lane, even where it's clearly marked No Parking.
It is neither enjoyable or safe. Do be careful on Cadillac, there many
blind switchbacks, and not much of a shoulder.
This is a beautiful little

An alternate suggestion if the stem swap doesn't fix it:
I used B17's and started to get low back pain and after a year of
struggling to figure out why it hurt when I rode, I got a sprung Flyer
saddle, and that nullified all the road shock and my back doesn't hurt
anymore. It was the road

That really sounds like a question worth calling Rivendell. As
unattractive as a damaged decal may be, leaving well enough alone may be
better than damaging the clear coat or paint. Time for advice from the
pros.

Count me as one who finds the WTB SST pretty close to a B17. You can't
really compare plastic and leather saddle widths directly because of the
leather saddles' frames and rivets. The SST is about 145mm wide, about
identical to a b17 between the rivets.
