Albastache bars arrived and are on the Sam! I hope to get a shakedown ride in today if the wind here in MD ever starts to subside.
Based on the internet research I've done (most of it redirecting to this group), I think I've got a solid starting point on positioning. - Positioned the brake levers just where the bar starts to straighten out--this seemed to be most common and the way Riv sets them up in photos I found. - Brake lever hoods are 15.5mm (6.1") from each other on the Albastache (more than the original moustache bars, but they have different geometry). I never could fine this distance on the interwebs for the Albastache so here's a baseline :-) - I read somewhere that the brakes should angle up slightly--this feels a bit awkward when I did a couple short circles on the road. Shakedown ride will reveal more. - Bar is on my 90mm stem, and positioned higher than I ran the Noodles with the same stem (level with saddle). Seems to be okay. - Albastache mounted so that the interior section of the bar is parallel with the top of the stem. Again, just like Riv's product photo.
