Hey Tim! Dialing in the handlebars can make a HUGE difference in the bike and is well worth experimenting with. My suggestions are:
-- Play with what you can with you current set up. Bar height, etc. Hand numbness is typically due to bars being low and/or an angle of hand position that doesn't agree with you. Sounds like you've adjusted what you can here, presuming you've played with bar height, as that is the only variable with the bullmoose bars. -- Identify as much as possible what seems to be the cause, then evaluate other bars for their potential to alleviate those issues without causing more. For example, the Bullmoose bars are excellent for putting you in the downhill position AND having your hands on the brakes. Bosco and Albatross bars are great, but I found my downhill hand position put me forward from the brakes, so were a compromise. The Albastache bars were the solution for me. But they require a brake lever shift as they are a different diameter than the bullmoose or albatross bars. -- Experiment with bars in order of what you think will solve your challenges and be most ridable. I hope this helps. Again, the bars really make a difference. Albastache may well be worth trying. I love them for all my riding, including technical single track descents, climbs, etc. With abandon, Patrick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
