I ride a Simpleone on fairly rough trails quite a lot. I have used the Soma Sparrow bar with a lot of success, however I seam to like my hands more vertical, like in the drops. I am in love with the look of the Albatross bars. They just seem to be the perfect shape. Not being able to brake from the front of the bar, my go to when climbing,leaves my hands with out much to brace against at high speeds on rough trails. Not a deal breaker but it makes me question them every time. Having my hands shaken from the bars is less than inspiring. Porter bars seem to have all the same issues, good and bad. The mustache bar , I really want to like them, never seems right to me, maybe because of the palms down position while on the brakes. Same is true for me with flat bars. Normalish drops always seem an odd angle for my shoulders, leaving me feel not as in control on rough trails at speed. Currently riding the On One Midge dirt drop bar. Almost always in the drop position. Supreme control, for me, on even the roughest and fastest of any trail. One finger braking and a general oneness with the bike no matter what. On the road they seem a little wide, however I am stronger climbing hills with these bars then anything else I have tried. They truly make my bike better for me in all situations. Hope this is of some use for you. Casey.
