When you say moustache, do you mean original moustache, or new moustache (Albastache)? Either way, I echo most others in saying a shorter stem is in order. Originals are narrower and more aggressive, so an even shorter stem may be in order. I love my new moustache, but I shifted from the Albatross. I use both hand position frequently, with deference to the curves. Unlike Clay, I find them the most ergonomic for all my riding, and the brakes are right where I want them for technical trails with rocky, rooty descents. Whether it's my staple ride of 20-40 miles of mixed terrain or a full day century plus, or a multi-day tour, these are wondrous to ride. Take your time dialing them in (as with everything) and you will be well rewarded.
