  • I have a brooks C17 and a C15 both with cut outs in different bikes and the 17 squeaks like a bastard after 30mins. The C15 is fine though. I think they are both super comfortable for all day rides, not done many multi days though. I wouldn’t bother with a carbon post on a steel frame especially with a C brooks.
    Aero bars? I think they would be aces to hide out behind your bag in the wind.
    I also have Paul Touring Canti’s and think they stop about as well as any none hydro disc I’ve ridden. They were crap when I first set them up, but doing the right angle straggle set up and having the pad to rim gap quite a bit bigger than on caliper brakes they have been faultless.

  • That’s good to know about the cantis. They do stop really well, but the squeal needs attention. What straddle angle did they need? And why the pad gap?

    Good to dissuade me from unnecessary purchases or changes anyway.

    But I have posted a wanted advert for a c15 carved. It ticks the boxes as far as I can tell.
