Still life with mlcm, Mavis, and bicycle helmet

Still life with mlcm, Mavis, and bicycle helmet

I ran the mlcm out for a “longer” loop this afternoon, and came back with aching arms. Not a good sign for using the mustache bars on brevets. There are a few things I can think of trying to do to better dial in the handlebar position, but I’m going to start by unwrapping the handlebar tape and angling the brake levers down a bit, because I end up crooking my hands quite a bit when I’m riding in the hook-analogues.

I might also need to raise the bars a bit (by getting an under 17° stem) so I can rotate them forward a little and level the drops a bit more, but I’ll worry about burning that bridge after messing around with the brake levers.
