Re: [RBW] Re: New member with old Riv

[Robert Tilley]

I like Moustache bars. I swapped between those and drops regularly on my All Rounder when I rode it more. Right now it has Moustache bars on it. Adding the stoker levers made it a better option for me since that added an additional, more upright, position. Here are my bars as they are currently set up: https://roberttilley.smugmug.com/Bicycles/Rivendell-All-Rounder/i-2gmKw6T/A Robert Tilley San Diego, CA Sent from my BlackBerry - the most secure mobile device From: bertin...@gmail.com Sent: April 27, 2020 4:23 PM To: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com Reply-to: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [RBW] Re: New member with old Riv I've tried the (original model) moustache bars on 6 to 8 different bikes over the years -- last on the Hon Solo before swapping for shortened Surly Open bar -- in all sorts of positions, and found them most tolerable -- still not very tolerable -- when positioned forward and low like my drop bars; sufficent reach to bar, with sufficient saddle setback, kept excessive weight off my hands. But the M bar lacks -- what is essential for me -- the mid-way ramps position and the sit-up flats position of drop bars.

I'm not sure if it's because you need a super short stem to make them work, that road levers just don't work very well in this orientation,  -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Patrick Moore Alburquerque, Nuevo Mexico, Etats Unis d'Amerique, Orbis Terrarum -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
