Yes, I read SB's stuff, and some other stuff, I can't find the quote again right now, but I noted at one point that the recommendation for wide-profile cantis (which CR720s seem to be) is to basically install the yoke as low as practically possible to still clear the tire and/or fender, so that's what I was going to do -- with the caveat that I am going want easy wheel removal. I expect to install them with the barrel adjusters all the way tight, and need to screw them all the way loose to be able to get the straddle wire quick release out.
