Albatross bars are 22.2mm and take mountain bike controls. Moustache bars were 23.8mm and took road bike controls. Albastache bars are 23.8mm like Moustache. The dummy levers that were on Bridgestone XO bikes are still around, but they are 23.8mm. My personal favorite dummy levers are the cylindrical dia compe ones. Velo Orange used to sell them and the replacement hoods for them.
IF you had 23.8mm bars, I'd recommend googling for "tandem dummy levers" and pick ones you like. Bill Lindsay El Cerrito, CA On Tuesday, December 3, 2019 at 3:10:33 PM UTC-8, A.
