Bike racing and snow sports! The O Gran Camino, Stage 1.
If it's less than 60 degrees in St Pete I go to the gym.
Oh are we bragging about riding temperatures in a thread again?
What was this thread about?

Since you asked... too warm and dry today, OFC

There is something that bothers me about that set-up. Have you tried to slam the stem a bit?

Are you referring to the uncut steerer section above the handlebar? Or the spacers under it?

True. But he is obviously searching for a lower position of the hands that's why the hoods point down.
Ah. Now I understand.
Not exactly. They point down because that shift lever angle helps me avoid finger bang on root - heavy woods paths. I did a thread on it way back when.
Gravel: shift lever bang
Rode just barely over 30mi of some pretty heavily rooted path yesterday and now I have imprints of the underside of the shift levers on my middle fingers of both hands. I taped them up today but OW! Rubberized gloves and a suspension fork are on the horizon. Not quite ready to switch...www.skitalk.com

Yes.
I know, I know, it violates like every roadie precept ever.
EDIT: well almost every...some of the Aussies are coming 'round:
