Based on Avery's experience decided to put drops on my Sam Hillborne. Also
with a Dirt Drop stem. Only had one 30 mile ride on it so far. Definitely
is different. Still haven't decided it will stay this way or not. The
reach to the bars is still about one inch further than my personal ideal.
Patrick,
I hope you were able to get out for a ride today, and that you had a
wonderful time.
I posted in response to another posters suggestion to search for berto
tire pressure.
Doing so should turn up:
http://www.bccclub.org/documents/Tireinflation.pdf. That article, or an
earlier
Thanks for the clarification, Ted. I'm following along better now. My
apologies for being grouchy.
I did have a fantastic run and ride yesterday. good and sloppy, slushy,
muddy.
With abandon,
Patrick

Glad you had a great time outside yesterday. May you have another today.
No worries on being grouchy, and no apologies needed. Frankly I didn't
detect much grouch in your post. Way in bounds of the norm around here.
regards
Ted

In bound? IN BOUNDS? Now THAT hurts! Grin. Kidding aside, you're far too
kind, Ted. No ride today as it's a brain rest day.

Patrick

I am 190 and running my Barlow Pass tires at 65 rear and 60 front. I may
try an go a bit lower to see if things get better (they areally nice as
is). It is all pretty subjective when it comes to preference. Start
somewhere, keep track and experiment. Road surface, conditioning, length of
ride,
Och, Ted! Your Google skills no doubt are fine. But why seek evidence of
something that is logically incomplete? The optimum temperature is a 15%
drop. Spread that around at all the rides you do and see if people start
to believe you, to the point that in winter they ride in a tank top to
Fantastic! I'm delighted to hear it. I've been amazed how big a difference
just changing things around with height/tilt and placement of
shifters/levers with my Albatross bars made, so I can only imagine what the
Albastache bars do. There is wonder and beauty in matching the cockpit to
rider
I'm 5'10.999 with a 88 PBH and that's a very close to my SH cockpit. I am
running 46 noodles on a 10 cm Dirt Drop with TRP aero levers and Tektro
Interrupters. I think I have five favorite hand positions with that setup. I
wrapped clothe tape over cork on the whole bar and I'm happy I did.
Hi Avery,
Looks great, feels great... enjoy the ride! Looks like nice trails to
explore.
Happy spring!

Yep, Capt. Conway -
I'm about an inch shorter than you with the same PBH, and I'm running the
8cm dirt drop stem, so just a bit less reach than yours. I suppose it
stands to reason that it would work!
Our bikes are almost identical in terms of cockpit, reach, even parts!

I used the Tire Pressure

it gives me 55 psi front/65 psi rear.

Have you found any documentation of a substantive basis (not just an appeal to
authority) for the oft repeated assertion that 15% tire drop gives an optimal
trade off of rolling resistance and comfort?

Bicycle Quarterly has done a fair bit of research on rolling resistance and

In my last exchange with Jan he asserted rolling resistance was basically i
dependent of tire pressure, baring riding flat tires and very high pressures
(or maybe it was ultra high). I don't think he mentioned 15% drop.

I believe I have done that before, and I did just now. I may be incompetent but
I didn't find test results documenting 15% tire drop as an optimum.
