I put the curves of the Albatross bars at the same reach as my brake hoods on drops and then taped. I spend a lot of time there. I do find the bars a bit flexy / a lot flexy for harder single track / mountain bike riding. I would imagine the bullmoose bars would be the true choice for that. I have a spring b67 that either needs to be tightened or something. Never have been comfy on it. Springs make noise. > > > The one thing I'm sticking with is STI and SPD. I get hotspots with spd's and only solution was look or wider platfor pedals over the years I found. It was bad to where I couldn't walk had to take shoes off . Felt like ballpean hammer on every pedal stroke. Rides under 50 miles were ok as long as there wasn't huge amount of hills and I concentrated on smooth circles. I agreed with you at first on bar ends, and only got them because I had a set of Dura Ace shifters in my tool box. I was going to use the bar ends later on a touring bike. Trouble is after riding the bar ends I liked them better. (remember my friends think I'm wacko and I just may be.) Especially on the front where nothing ever seems to index correctly on a triple.
