I'm going to add an adjustable stem this weekend to allow me to adjust easily between different riding styles depending on who I'm riding with, and also to reduce the overall reach to the handlebars a bit, which is just a little more than I'd like w/the stock 110mm/10 degree fixed stem.

Thread I started on adjustable stems here:

Also, ordered these Kool-Stop pads to give them a try:

My current pads are fine, but getting a new bike has put me in a tweaking mood.

When my wife sees our credit card bill I'm going to have some 'splainin' to do.
