Rob, I have to ask about the seat angle-- obviously you prefer this downward slant as it stays the same from setup to setup, but it's generally acknowledged that this shifts more weight on your hands.
Again, its clear that you must prefer this, have you always ridden like this for years and years?
Neat range of tires that's for sure.
I've toyed with the angle, and I guess it always ends up there, so I guess that's my spot. I try and keep a comfortable handlebar angle and grips and don't notice any strain in my daily riding. Long days in the saddle can cause more noticeable strain, but that's why I try to have multiple positions. Also the bars may be high relative to drop bars, which means more upright and more weight on the seat. The other day I was practicing riding no-handed, which I hadn't done in a while. Since I was able to stay on my seat with no weight on my hands, that makes me think it must not be
that bad.
