I second Patrick on the Albastache, definitely consider those. I like them
a lot on my Hunqapillar for trails, singletrack, and road. I've never had
hand numbness with any handlebar so take that into consideration. I did try
some bosco bullmoose bars on a commuter setup for a while, they put
Hey Peter, I don't have a picture of the current setup. The bars are saddle
height. The noodle bars on my Hilsen are saddle height as well and I only have
very minor issues with them, and they are alleviated by the many hand positions
I can go to. The Bullmoose are, I think, the 150mm type and
I use these with my bull moose bars:

I found the standard cork grips did not support my wrists and caused pain.
I also have the bars up, about level with
Hey Tim! Dialing in the handlebars can make a HUGE difference in the bike
and is well worth experimenting with. My suggestions are:
-- Play with what you can with you current set up. Bar height, etc. Hand
numbness is typically due to bars being low and/or an angle of hand
position that doesn't
I haven't used a bullmoose type bar since the 1980s. I personally don't see
the advantage of having the stem and bar welded together. I at times change
bars on my offroad bikes and different bars require different length stems.
I suppose if the bullmoose stem-bar system happens to work for you,
The Ergon grips are definitely worth a try. I have them on the Bombadil with
Boscos and on On-One Mary bars with the RockHopper/Xtracycle. They helped with
hand numbness on both bikes.
I have not tried them on the bullmoose bars but on planning to soon. Want to
try the Bomba with bars that
Another vote for trying the Ergons. If that doesn't help, also consider
Moustache/Albastache bars. They are much better for trail and singletrack
descents than upright bars (IMHO).

Tim, I also have a 58cm Hunqapillar and have tried many handlebars. I
started out with flipped albatross, then regular albatross, bullmoose,
noodles, and now currently, bosco bars.

I liked the noodles, but the top tube length was just too long even
I had the same problem with non-Bosco Bullmoose bars. My hands will
tolerate straight or straight-back bars, but not the inbetween angle like
Bullmoose and the old Bridgestone Arc. For dirt riding you might want to
try regular-old straight mtb bars.

Tim: I have a several sets of the Riv Bullmoose, and after trying out the Bosco
Bullmoose bars (really cool) I just couldn't get used to them and went back to
the Bullmoose... which are my all-time fave.
Brian: AWESOME SETUP on that High Sierra!!!
