It's nice to see I'm not the only one who likes the Mustache long and low.
I tried it up higher and closer but couldn't dig, man.

Fair enough. Buddy and I rode 32 mi Saturday, half of it through
near-downtown and traffic, and 1700' elevation (beautiful park roads along
the creek drainages, and lunch at a great Thai restaurant). The hood
position is a good back stretch, and a good aero position with elbows bent

Gene Oberpriller also won the Chequamegon 40 on a X0-1 with moustache bars.
That's Gene-O in the picture weating the red jersey with the two white
stripes. In fact, that might be the very bike that he won the Chequamegon
40 on.

Ha! I love the chicken shot. Very cool.
Thanks for the write up and info and pics. Always good to get the right
position dialed in.
I am trying that with my Noodle Sam now, but getting left arm tingles and
shoulder pain AFTER riding. I suspect it is the longer reach than I am used
to.

Also, if you run aero levers on the 'stache bars they provide another hand
position that extends beyond the front of the curve.

I get 5 positions easy, and none of them on the same horizontal plane

I've met very few who could tolerate M-bars. I think they're horrendous. But
obviously some people think they're great. It might be one of those things we
all need to try at some point.

I have moustache bars on one of my bikes.I got used to them and really
like them. As others have pointed out, they are especially good for
offroad riding, but I've used them for long distance too.

I have always heard to set up mustache bars with a shorter stem and one
that is higher (compared to drops) and it has worked for me in the past. A
longer stem makes me feel like I am reaching too far all the time.
The one thing you miss out on with mustache bars vs. drops is a good lower
Funny, for me it was the opposite: the M bar felt most comfortable when
positioned low and forward, but I missed the sit-up position of the flats
on a drop bar. If the heel of my left hand weren't so sensitive that
anything except road drops positioned level with the ground hurts it after

Yes, that's my experience as well. They're great for a couple of hours, but
then my body misses the lower hand position to move my back around. They do
offer multiple positions, but on a singe horizontal
plane.https://www.flickr.com/photos/cyclotourist/sets/72157605369032545/with/2534862019/I

when I switched to moustache bar, my new Technomic stem essentially took
two inches off the reach of the stem and added it to the height.

The reality is any technical reach similarities are completely overwhelmed
by real-world experience. I've never met/heard-of a rider switching from
drops to Moustache Bars who didn't need a shorter/taller stem to make the
reach work.

Actual COMFORT for each person will also be determined by stem angle, length,
and handlebar height.

I think you're going to like the Mustache. I have them on my commuter and
really enjoy them. Contrary to conventional advice, I use a pretty long
stem and run them lower than my saddle. I move my hands all over those
things and appreciate the variety of hand positions compared to the
Albatross

position that extends beyond the front of the curve.

I have read some stuff and talked with people about this and some say
longer, some say shorter. So I did the overlay thing just for my own
curiosity before swapping bars sometime.

This is a current stock Riv road NITTO 'stache as of March, 2013. I also
have an old 'stache and it is pretty much the same.
There are other brands of 'staches, and maybe they are longer reach. I
think there was/is a NITTO mountain version of this bar, too. Maybe that
has a different
There's also this.

Just FYI for anyone who is interested which bar has a longer/shorter reach.
As you can see, I laid the 'stache over the noodles, lining up the clamp
area of the stache to where the clamp on the stem is and
