Right on. Thanks to everyone for the feedback.
What I am getting out of the experience thus far.....
BA's are a very nice ride, particularly on a reasonably lightly loaded commuter on many different road/surface conditions. I am amazed at their comfort on crushed granite, limestone, and gravel paths, not to mention cracks, potholes, and bad roads.
Air the rear up to 55-60, 45ish front, when loaded or pulling a trailer, particularly when climbing or trying to make time on the tarmac.
Let the pressure back down via presta valve when riding unloaded.
Worth it, I guess, for the plushness of the ride.
Have fun. Be safe.
