I used the 80mm Dirt Drop stem with my Dirt Drop h'bars. Used the same stem
later on with my Moustache bars on the same bike.

The braking position is precisely why I like the M bars. It's similar to
that of mountain bike bars, which lets you brace your weight, grab the
brakes, and have control while going downhill. The Albas don't offer that
braking option. When braking w/ Albas, you are not able to brace your
weight whil

Thanks, René! I concur with your experience of the Boscos. I rediscovered
that my wife's bars are the narrower Boscos, so I put them on yesterday. I
was surprised how far back they come (too much for me). and I couldn't
figure a way to feel a good grip for the rough stuff.

Hi Patrick,
I don't ride for so long (yet) or lean forward as much (hardly at all,
probably), so it's hard for me to give you realistic feedback. I liked the
ends of the Bosco bars for very upright riding and the top curves for
faster riding, and went with reverse levers to keep the whole top of t
I'm quite the fan out Moustache bars. They're great off-road as they let
you put your hands & weight forward while giving you that good braking
position. Mimics the position regular straight or riser MTB bars offer.
While I enjoyed Albas off-road as well, my hands got a lot more tired

I remain a fan of the original Nitto moustache, but can see advantages to
the slightly wider, slightly shallower Albastache.

Sounds like you should consider albastache, too. Sorry to add to the
choices! I think Christopher Chen moved from Noodles to Albatross to
Albastache on his Hilsen, and he mentioned being out on the albatross
curves a lot.
I have the "standard" bullmoose and switch between it and the Noodles. I
Huh. I talked myself into trying my brakes so they will work in my favorite
position on the Albatross. That has the benefit of having a lot less play
as it is in the curves. One day soon...
With abandon,

I'm glad you mentioned the standard bullmoose, René. Thank you. My favorite
position on the Albatross is the outer curve, but I have no brakes there,
so I have to ride the handles on the downhills. It seems I could well end
up with the same issue with the Bosco's. How are the standard bullmoose
After having several flavors of the Bosco bars and really liking them for
many reasons, I went back to the traditional Bullmoose bars on my
Hunqapillar, but raised them as high as feasible. I like this setup even
more. With the Boscos, my hands kept hurting and when riding rough terrain,
I would fi
I have had albas regular Boscos and now the bull moose bars. They
definitely give me more power and stiffness when climbing, a really solid
feeling.
