I do know about changing the handling, or at least supposedly doing so. My question is really about what people actually do here. I have never actually experimented with it. Don't know how much I could learn doing it.
...some of the older rear drops are pretty long (at least the ones I have. You can get about an inch of wheelbase either way, and I can feel that if I'm paying attention to stuff like how it climbs out of the saddle.
But it's not a real big deal with me now. I'm olde enough and slow enough (and I have enough different bicycles) that if I want something with quicker/slower handling, I just ride a different bike.
