I struggled to find a height, angle and reach for them that didn't represent discomfort in some way. I recently built up an AHH with albastache bars as I was hoping they would represent the answer to my problems of the past. They worked well.... for almost everything. I rode them on my short commute for a few weeks and found that I rather enjoyed them. Then I took them on an s24o over ~120 miles and they stopped working well when I got a bit fatigued or just less careful about my bike posture. I recently traded the albastache bars out for my favorite bar, a 46cm Nitto noodle, and I'm happy and comfy again at any distance. If I had a dedicated short-distance/townie bike, I'd probably embrace the albastache, but I like the option to mix longer day or multi-day rides on my primary bikes, and I think the moustache/albastache just isn't a long-distance bar for me. -Jeff Silver Spring, MD -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
