well, much better than the Tektro models IMO.

I was looking at some photos of the installed XC cantis, and they are
definitely made for a short saddle cable. It looks like, though, if you
extend the pad position toward the max, you can use a bit longer straddle
cable and still have good braking load.

As others have eluded to, the M12 canti-stud mounting method is not a
plug-n-play with Suntour XC Pro cantilever brakes. The issue here is that
the brake mounting bolt is recessed, while the M12 requires a flat
platform to attach to. So you can try any brake that does not
use recessed mounting
Anne, I am running the Schwalbe Marathon Supremes. I have these on my Fargo

Hey there!
I'm thinking of throwing some Albatross bars on the Atlantis. With that
being said should I use the same stem that I'm running with the current
set-up, using Noodle bars, or go one cm longer?
Any advice from the Noodles-to-Albatross conversion crowd would be greatly
appreciated,
For me (YMMV) the length between drops and Albas didn't change. What did
change was height. I went from a 100mm Tech Dlx stem at seat height to a
plain Technomic to get the added height above the seat.
Cheers,
David

I went two cm longer and lowered the stem a touch to compensate for the

Roger,
That is awesome. It looks great and makes one want to go riding.
For the handlebar adjustment you mention, it sounds like the Dirtdrop stem is
the perfect solution.

It's not an ideal solution, but one could move the crankset outboard a

Roger,
That first ride is magical, I remember so well my first ride on
Homer...it's only gotten better. Very striking Hillborne especially the
white saddle and bar tape. I don't know why but I love the look of an M

The other solution is to calculate what pneumatic support is necessary.
It might be that the OP does not need this width to achieve his riding

I've watched this wider tire business for the last year or two. It's

You might also get a little more chain/tire clearance by using a 7 speed
cassette with a spacer. Or just keep on with the smaller tire.
