Hi all,
I know these questions get beat up all the time but.....

I have a size large Source Eleven. For some reason the stock handle bars just don't feel confortable to me. The grips are great in my opinion but the flat straight bar doesn't turn me on.

During my commute, I really only feel 100% confortable when I set straight up with like 2 or 3 fingertips from each hand on the grip itself. Does that make sense? I do it alot, one because it's confortable and two because if I have to react quickly to something it's just a quick move for full control.

So that brings me to my first question. Should I move to a different bar configuration like maybe a touring style bar? Is it possible that my saddle is too far back and/or my handlebars are too far forward or too low? I have approximately a 1-1.5 cm movement ability forward on my new saddle.

Second question is sort of related to the first. I recently (yesterday) upgraded to a Brooks B17. On my first ride with it, I found myself stopping to make small adjustments every 4-5km. Is that normal practice when upgrading a saddle? It seems near where it needs to be with the point very slightly lower than the rear. Obviously it still needs a few hundred km in order to fully break in and hopefully get comfortable.

Thanks,
Shawn
