I agree with James. The shape is not the problem, though you may need a
surprisingly short stem to make them feel right. The problem is drop
levers at ~90 degrees from their design intent. The levers cannot be angled
downwards from horizontal by any meaningful amount, and I like my levers
I put them on my road bike after rejecting drops one last time. I very
rarely ride the hoods, occasionally use the swept position to relax, mostly
vary position along the hooks to change the angle of my wrists. I don't use

I currently have albastache with 10cm dirtdrop stem on my soma san marcos
and really like it. It took me awhile to get used to the weird aesthetic
of dirtdrop stem but having the albastache bars up that high really does
maximize comfort and the variety of hand positions. The rear grip area
Had them on my commuter for a couple years and loved them. Had them on a
shorter stem & about even with the seat height. Much more like a drop bar
than albatross. I’ve switched them out for noodles which I now like better.

I found them brilliant bars for everything I ride except technical single
track descents, where it put me too far forward/low in braking position.
