Hi Joe,
What I really love about bar end levers is I can activate the brakes
anywhere my hands are on the bar very easily, weather I'm back or forward
on the bars, something I could never do with a standard lever. I can use
them with just my pinkie if needed. I have no desire to ever

Sure Peter .. to each out own ! One's passion is anothers poison. As I
said, I've used flat portions in the middle of a wide bar on my Stumpjumper
and found the position to be uncomfortable . And yes ..they are different
than using a drop bar, as drop bars *DROP* from the middle to the swept
Thanks! Very nice indeed.

I am sorry, I have albas, totally wrapped just like yours and I only see 2
hand positions that are reasonable. I dont think moving my hands back or
forth an inch count as different positions. And like alot of high bar
riders I dont worry about knee strike but that could be an issue for people
who
I think the hand position thing is highly personal. As long as you are
comfortable and so are your hands, different people will prefer different
configurations. I don't know if the Bosco has more, the same or less hand
positions that are usable. Some will prefer it to the Albatross and some
won't.

I thought of the Bosco bars for a minute, until I realised they had zero

I've been looking at those. I'm not sure, though, whether I want more
rise. I do like the wider
Albas dont have many different positions unfortunatley. I can stretch out
on the curves but the middle is too narrow for larger sized hands like
mine. So they have maybe 3 real positions that I can reasonably use.
