What are your thoughts on the Soulor/Galibier vs. the Aspin/Aravis?
Posted over 6 years ago
The saddles have a similar width (157 vs 146 mm) but the "racing" models taper more abruptly.
Thus, both saddles are similarly comfortable for my sit bone width, but the narrower saddle feels better while pedaling since there's pretty much no rubbing on the backs of my legs due to that taper.

Yeah! My Falconer has another bud. Great build, man. Why the 180mm up front?

Hell yeah. I'm sure it's a fun ride. The 180mm rotor has a bit lower lever effort and probably cools off a bit faster. I figure if it fits, why not?

Ah, makes sense. I have not wanted for more power with my 160s F/R also w/ Klampers and stock pads but have taken a handful of front brake a few times in the steep Headlands. Also, Cameron Falconer asked that I not run a 180 on the front due to the extralight forkleg tubing spec and my weight of ~180lbs.

The big 180 looks killer though! The dual 320mm discs on my moto almost fill up the wheel inside of the rim; also a hot look :)

Thanks; it's a Velo Lumino TMAT stem switch. Aside from being my top cap, it lets me turn my lights on and off.
