Agreed. Works well with Albatross, Billie, and Choco bars. In my experience, the lower and further away the bars are, the more effective it is. Bosco bars work as well but they have a lot more rise, so unless you keep them kinda low and angle them a good amount, it won't work as well. Bones

: on my Appaloosa I used both the Chocomoose (12cm extension) and Billies on a 12cm stem. I never grabbed them at the ends of the bars, and always wanted them to be just a tad farther away. Riv seems to have addressed that by making the latest generation of Appaloosa a tad longer. Bones
