[RBW] Re: Looking for Nitto Moustache bar

I run M-bars w/ a 2cm shorter stem extension. Same height as with other bars. The position on the very ends definitely gives you a different position that drops can't provide. It's lower than the stem (~2cm) but maybe 4cm closer to you: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cyclotourist/2536686586/in/set

[RBW] Re: Looking for Nitto Moustache bar

Maybe it was just the extra distance and it wouldn't matter what kind of bars you had. If you want to be more upright, Albatross bars are a better bet than M-bars. I don't feel much/any more upright with them than with Dirt Drops, and miss the "drop" position on longer rides. Cheers, DE On Sat,
