Tony, my first choice is albas. My second choice is albas. Third? Ditto. In
fact, I doubt there is any problem in life (bike-related or otherwise) that
can't be solved by albas. ;)
Seriously, they have been my go to bars for many years. I can be comfortable
with most any bar but I just love
Tony, I never tried them that way because I know from the m-bar experiment it
wouldn't be my cup of tea. I like being upright and schooching down when
necessary by going the bar's deep bends (up front)--with elbows bent if
necessary to get lower. When I'm descending down gnarly terrain, I want

decaleur but it does seem that Nitto has an open face quill in the works.

I ran DaVinci cable splitters on my Bomba (to swap between Noodles and
Bullmoose bars)... An idea Seth Vidal shared with this forum :)

I'm going to have to look at that. Do the thumb(ie) bases stay on their
respective bar's or move when you swap bars?
It depends. When I
No worries, makes sense about the hinge. Your comment brings up the good
question of how often I would really swap out the cockpits... and how much
energy really needs to be put into it. I think the DaVinci splitters are
the way to go if you want 'plug and play', with an added cost of
For shifters I run Shimano barcons on the Noodles, with the housing
completely outside of the handlebar tape. There are SOMA Thumbie bases on
the bullmoose, and the barcons screw right into those bases. Zero cabling

I went from drops to Moustaches to Alba's on my Sam.
I had Tiagra road brake levers and bar end shifters on the original drops.
