I didn't get around to notching the stops yet, but here's a shot of the current setup on the way back from Yellow Springs Ohio. The bars were great! I didn't get numb hands much at all and wrapping the hooks gave me a slightly more aero position. They're definitely not awesome riding into a headwind as we did on the entire way back, but so far I'm digging them overall. I need to get a proper front rack. I passed a woman on a Rivendell Atlantis set up similarly to mine which is really the bike I'm trying to approximate within reason. Maybe some day...
