Another nice set of Cantis were the recent iteration Campagnolo put out. I

I feel like slippage has little to do with bar weight or stem length.
If you want less slip then you need to increase friction between stem and bar.
A larger diameter bar/stem interface (31.8mm or 35mm) accomplishes this most
elegantly. Friction paste and torque are other means. More exotic

Doubt they are defective. I think it has more to do with how and where a person

mostly solve it.

Nah. Those things don't work. I use to tie some string between saddle rails and

Has anyone successfully added a Quick Release Seatpost binder to a

I feel like I know what I need in general. QR that is long/short enough

Regarding crank length - I prefer them 165-170. Tried 175 but liked them

When I ride the bike, boscos and Albas and bullhorns and anything else with
that kind of lever will slip in a 25.4 or 26 stem if tightened per torque
recommended and interfaced properly. Overtorquing and friction paste are ways
to minimize this and even that is no guarantee.

The technomic with its steel backing plat will handle a good amount of over
