Very interesting.
I find that ease of pedaling is what it is all about, and makes me want to
ride more.
A bike that is hard to pedal along discourages me from riding.

I’m debating a bench mounted clamp and putting my PCS in the closet as backup.
But it seems like getting to the far side of the bike against a work bench,
even a narrow bench, would be a pain. Fine for a quick chain lube or der

Sorry, Mat, but I don’t track miles so I’ve not idea. I only have one canti

The nerve location is the same on most everyone. There are variations, but the
general location is the same. The neurologist said to not put pressure there to
avoid nerve damage, so I assume it would be the same for all cyclists or anyone
who might suffer from repetitive impacts in that area.

Thanks Clayton. That context makes sense. In your 'armchair expert'
opinion, is the Albastache a fundamentally bad handlebar for everyone,
given that everyone has roughly the same hand anatomy? Or is it mainly bad

Theoretically, with enough money you could do it but the bike is not designed
for them. If you really want a disc bike there are a bunch of them that will
ride great.
I’m of the opinion that disc brakes are superior in every way, and I freakin

Patrick,
I think they started as singular leg coverings tied together at the waist,
similar to chaps. I found this article fascinating and connects, though
loosely, to riding (steel) horses and Grants Blahg post.
https://www.sciencenews.org/article/first-pants-worn-horse-riders-3000-years-ago.
Thanks Bill. Your suggestion in #3 is precisely what I have done.
I've removed the lockring many times and reinstalled, but never with a
torque wrench. I've always just tightened it about a 'scosh' more than snug
and have never had issues.
Cheers. John

The advice I was given when I shifted from albatross to albastache was to drop
the stem length 30mm. I went from a 110 to an 80 and that felt right. Not
sure about shifting from drops but Riv probably has a suggestion.
