Bullmoose Bosco rules on a bike like the Hunqa. From: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com [mailto:rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Brian Hanson Sent: Friday, August 09, 2013 2:26 AM To: rbw-owners-bunch Subject: Re: [RBW] Trying to decide on handle bars for my Hunqapillar
Started with Moustaches. (good - too much reach) Went to Porteurs. (better - wrapped with the wrong tape color, and got antsy...) Next up, Noodles. (best - but felt just like my Homer) Now using Albas (tied for great with Noodles, but I am still a bit miffed that they swoop up - bending my hands at an odd angle when I'm in the forward position) Next up - may go back to Porteurs or Boscos (like on a another bike) The joys of a cockpit switcher!

I was very intrigued by the Salsa Fargo and its woodchipper drop bars. I do not plan on doing excessively long tours - mostly day long trips of several hours at a time. I was thinking of trying drop bars on the Hunqapillar. However, when I ride with my wife, she prefers a more leisurely ride, and this is where the moustache bars I found a bit less comfortable because I just really want to go faster. So, I was thinking of a more MTB style or Nitto Bullmoose bar to be a bit more upright. If I take the bike on rougher trails, I would think something like Nitto Bullmoose bars (more MTB style) would be best. I hadn't really consider the Nitto Albatross bars - how long are they for longer distances and rougher trails? I have noticed that a lot of Hunqapillar riders use the Albatross bars, and it has gotten a lot of good reviews. And Rivendell even features a rider on mountain trails using what looks like an Albatross bar on one of its videos! Some swear by another one, the Nitto Bosco Bullmoose bar, which sort of lends the above. Any opinions on what handle bar best serves me in all situations? Albatross? Other?
