To my knowledge everything is adjusted okay. Don't get me wrong, with the Kool-Stops the stopping power is quite good, even in panic stops. But the wheels won't lock up on pavement, and if I panic stop alongside someone with dual pivot or better calipers they usually stop a little bit before me.

Thanks for the tip on 28c, I might try those when these wear out just for the heck of it. Would you say the improvement was mostly in speed/handling? I've pretty much come to the conclusion not to go smaller than that though.

BrooklyntoNYC, they're decent bikes but $219 is a little high for one. If you go to Wal-Mart's online store you can get one shipped to your door for $157 or so. You'll have to assemble it yourself but you can save 60 bucks. Then again, if $219 includes assembly, tuning, and fitment to you that price is pretty worthwhile.
