I don't really do any rides longer than 50 miles, so, I guess I don't know if I'd love them on all day rides. But for what I do, Albastaches are my favorite for 'high energy' riding. I built myself out of a bike for them a couple year ago when I got the Clem and found I didn't actually like them on there (far too long a top-tube, even if you can get them way up), and last month sorta impulse bought myself an old Centurion someone was selling locally just so I had something appropriate to put them back on and get them back in my line-up. I agree with masmojo, right about level with saddle and just slightly angled downward in the wings (I generally likes the forward extension/clamp,close bends area to look more or less parallel to the ground and then let the outer bends angle down naturally after the brake levers) is really nice. They let me get upright enough for poking my head up around trail traffic, and then I get to stretch out into the bends for the rest and sometimes that's just exactly the kind of ride I want, especially on lighter more-for-play bikes. I've had recurring wrist issues trying the full upright bars from Riv, and I've had some bars make my fingers go numb after a few miles, but other than probably ill-advised attempt at using them on the bigger Clem I've never had a spot of trouble with my Albastaches and hand problems. Although doing a few extra tricep dips a week does seem to make it easier to hold my weight off of them better ;)
