8.4s are the best brakes for SRAM levers. If you're going to be riding anything that muddy then skinner tyres are better anyway. I still have enough clearance with 35s to never cause an issue
what? It doesn't, if for what ever reason you can't set up your saddle without it sloping up or down then yeah it's not the right post for you but that still has nothing to do with saddle drop?
Are you suggesting that you'd move your saddle higher if you can only set it up sloping down?
bar drop has nothing to do with your saddle sloping forward though, your saddle should be flat no matter. If it isn't then you might have too much drop, or your saddle is too high
any tyre rides like shit when it's got 13 massive flat spots
