if [MENTION=381793]gugie[/MENTION] can have a whole thread hating on ‘squishy’ in the shorts padding - then I get a post on minimal cush bar wrap. I wear gloves, I have a steel fork on every vintage and mostly ride paved roads. The cables almost offer a new hand position with different pressure points.

And my tires don’t squish much either.
No Trask for me, or unsupported touring where those things shine.
