I've got the Checkpoint SL5 with the strangleholds. It came with them forward in the "short quick and nimble" setting. After a few months it seemed to me it was just too skittish and jumpy on rough gravel, and chattered around on gravel climbs. I moved it back to the "long and stable" configuration. Much better in my opinion. Tracks straighter, doesn't jump around as much and I've got better traction on climbs. I strictly ride gravel with long straight miles and don't need my bike to be nimble. I need it go in a straight line.
