But ya, commuting on my 86 Cannondale that only fits 25s is not as relaxing as on my old steel Peugeot on 28s.
Thanks for the tip! I just bought that saddle about a month ago because it has more paddling in it compared to the stock saddle it replaced. I thought with it angled like I could take advantage of all that padding. I will try and get it more level. I have been showing my bikes some love lately seeing how I have more time to ride now and trying to get them more urban friendly. Next I think I am going to replace the brakes on my Synapse with the aluminum look, the Tetro brakes are rusted from riding at the beach all the time in that salty air and I think that helped them to rust plus then they will match the color of the other components.
