I have to admit first couple of turns were sloppy, but then I got used to the steering. Its still early, but I am already thinking of ordering another pair for my other SS.

Through the ride I found that SS and rigid is WAY FUN. Sure the roots jarred me a few times, but that is just par for the course. I felt more connected to the bike, more manueverable on the skinnies. I think its the rebirth of slick.
