The new ones sound like they have a lot of good thought going into them. I think I may pick up a spare of the older ones though.

Can't wait. I liked but didn't love Moustache bars on my XO-1, and I very much like but don't 100% love its current Albatross setup. Much preferred the road levers to these mountain-y ones as well. And it sounds like I won't have to swaps stems, either. Jeff Hagedorn Warragul, VIC Australia -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

I know with the original m-bar it was recommended to move to a stem 2cm shorter than one would use with drop bars. I wonder what is recommended for this bar. It looks great and is very tempting to try. --mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Albastaches (new Moustaches) are Available!
You know, I was excited by a slightly lower rise Alba idea but I think this is a huge miss in that you can't use it with Mtn. Bike levers ... I just don't get the wrist-up position of trying to use drop bar levers in a semi-horizontal way.

Re: [RBW] Re: Albastaches (new Moustaches) are Available!
@Mike: The curves being an inch closer makes up that 2cm difference. I'm guessing no swapping out necessary. @Jeffrey: The road brakes work fine horizintal-ish. No weirdness in my experience. I don't know what to make of the inch less of drop. IMHO they could have added an additional inch of drop.

Re: [RBW] Re: Albastaches (new Moustaches) are Available!
The times that I have tried Mustache Bars I felt like I could never get them high enough. I think the relaxed drop on these new style bars would have helped in those situations. I realize now that I was trying to make the bars into something they were not. I think Mustache Bars where designed as an interesting bar for going quick and I wanted a multi-hand position bar for riding not-so-quick. I have switched to alba bars on my commute bike and I like them. David, seeing where you live and ride a Dirt Drop X Mustache style bar. That would be a slick combination.

[RBW] Re: Albastaches (new Moustaches) are Available!
Flat road levers, as on a moustache bar, are really good. You can rest your palms on them for cruising, with the thumb tucked behind the non-aero cables and your pinkies tucked behind the lever. You get nice one finger leverage on the brakes. If you like to use the ends as your grip, you can use reverse levers, but I'd still mount the regular lever bodies with hoods on, in the regular place, in order to get that stretched out position. I like the look of these new bars, but I don't use mountain bikey anything* anymore, even on my mountain bike.

They work fantastically in the dirt. I've tried multiple drop bars off road, and none of them are better than M-bars, although I have wanted them to be!

Re: [RBW] Re: Albastaches (new Moustaches) are Available!
I agree with Jason. I thought the big drop of Moustache Bars was an unnecessary headache requiring a tall stem to fix. I also found (with my short arms) the curves to be a tad too deep. I love the look of this bar style, and now it finally appears I'll be able to *use* them. On Tuesday, June 18, 2013 7:52:05 PM UTC-7, cyclot...@gmail.com wrote: They work fantastically in the dirt.
