How's the thudbuster also? Thinking about one myself. Mine setup is/will be with a Vassago Fisticuff as an all arounder.
Handlebar is a Salsa Woodchipper. When my LBS built up the bike, they looked at a Salsa blog to locate the brakes. They seem comfortable. The thudbuster works great with the Brooks saddle.
