Looks like the content is gone here. Got my chocos today. To my measurements, they are swept back about 2-3cm further than albatross bars. unmounted, they seem very long, but I guess you get a lot more useable grip area that way. I never found the curves of albatross' to be useable. The curves o

The Choco bars have more sweep, actually. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to rbw-owners-bunch+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. To post to this grou

The Bar on Bar shot is the Albastache not the Albatross. So yeah, it is totally wider. On Wednesday, February 3, 2016 at 12:06:14 PM UTC-5, Garth wrote: > > > Comparing bars on top of each other can be really deceptive ! Slight > changes in camera angle can make things appear different than t

[RBW] Re: Albatross vs Choco bar (A photo comparison)

Comparing bars on top of each other can be really deceptive ! Slight changes in camera angle can make things appear different than they really are. Notice in the bar on bar photo how much wider the Alba *appears* , when they are in fact the same width. Even in person, I've put 2 Alba bars(

Hi Casey...welcome to the group and thanks for posting! May I ask what shifters and brake levers you're using (and what bike you're running them on)? One of the shifters looks like a sun race not sure about the other one Thinking of the Chocos for my upcoming mixte and was thinking of the re

[RBW] Re: Albatross vs Choco bar (A photo comparison)

Thanks for the pick. Does the Chocos sweep back more towards the rider than the albatross? Hard to tell, I wish Riv posted backsweep angles. On Monday, February 1, 2016 at 9:00:31 PM UTC-5, Casey McMann wrote: > > New to the group. Just wanted to show everyone the difference between > these two
