it’s a whole new world of tire choices, variable conditions, gear and configuration changes. It’ll keep me thinking for a while. Compared to a drop bar thickness my hands were getting sore from death gripping the relatively skinny handlebar. Do I get user to it or do I get thicker grips, time will tell. So far I can say that flat on one side SPD on the other pedals are a serious consideration. I also am going to try a lower PSI for today’s ride.
