FWIW, I've used aero brake levers -- the body and the hoods, with
levers proper removed -- on various bars for addtional hand positions.
I've not had any problem with the road-bar-width clamps slipping on
the "tourist" bar diameter, especially when installed at the curves.

So many good options! I'm planning to swap my boscos for albatross bars and now
I don't have to worry about fit.

I have these on a MIT Atlantis with Billy bars. I get 3 positions with

I appreciate everyone sharing their experiences. Lots of good options it seems.
I’ll look for a pair of cheap bar ends to try and go from there. I’ll update if
anyone’s interested.
Best,

Peter White sells a Nitto lamp holder that puts a cross bar in front of the
albatross bars. In addition to holding the headlight it gives a little
extra space to put the hands on each side.

These are not Albatross, but I added Origin8 bar ends to Milan bars so I
could stretch out a bit in a headwind. It works pretty well, my elbows land
on the flat of the ergo grips. I tried adding actual aero bars originally,
with elbows tucked, but that's just not a comfortable position for me.
Aaron,
I have Bosco bars on an old Nishiki mountain bike with bar-end extensions
just ahead of the curve of the bar. It looked like this when I had them on
my Hunqapillar - https://flic.kr/p/e2PjbY

Aaron, if you haven't already, you might try flipping your Albatross, and
possibly switching out your stem for something a tad longer. I found that
a flipped Albatross still allows a close-enough grip position (raise your
stem a little higher than when you run it in the normal position...or
Another data point: Dummy levers will clamp down tight enough on 22.2 bars.
Grant put them on the '93 XO-3 which used that size Moustache Handlebar.

Albatross bars are 22.2mm and take mountain bike controls. Moustache bars
were 23.8mm and took road bike controls. Albastache bars are 23.8mm like
Moustache. The dummy levers that were on Bridgestone XO bikes are still
around, but they are 23.8mm. My personal favorite dummy levers are the
I would think if you're gonna place some extentions there they ought to be as
large as your hand so you could really grip securely. Resting the elbows, even
with something to grab hold of, the bony forearms on top of the bars is still

Yeah that’s what I do, Garth (placing my forearms on the forward bend of
albas). The problem with this isn’t width for me but that it’s awkward to
control the bike with my forearms. Just a little something to grab onto would
give me control and subsequently more comfort. So I was thinking aero
I've placed my forearms over my Alba bars a few times and it just feels
too odd from the width, so bar ends placed there would be mute. A real set
of aero extensions that are placed @ the middle of the bars feels a whole
lot more intuitive and natural, but I have no desire to do this on any
