[RBW] Albastache Setup Question.
I've kinda gone by feel really, but basically I try to follow the flow of the bars to the hoods and keep the tips of the levers from sticking out. The tops of the hoods should point back just a hair, just to the point were you can ride on them comfortably, but not too inboard. I also like to be able to just hook my index finger over the end of the lever if I am back on the "flats". As deacon said, ride them for 10 or 20 miles before you wrap the bars; move'em around a little til they suit you. Also, just me, but I swap the right & left levers so that the tip of the lever drops doen rather then up it's a much more natural position, the downside is that the cable housing exits the lever on the top side of the bar rather then the bottom, but it's very close to the stem in a place were you don't put you hands much. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Albastache Setup Question.
David, Running my Albastache with an 80 mm Technomic and Tiagra aero levers set up roughly 8.5" apart and angled slightly up. No idea of this is "standard" positioning or not. Contrary to Drew's experience, I use the hoods all the time. Really stretches me out on my first gen 56 Sam with a long (for me) top tube of 59 cm.

Like Deacon I experimented till it felt right. Mine: https://flic.kr/p/T1Wxs4 Caveat: I flipped my Albastache bars "upside down" which works well for me. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Levers in the photo aren't actually installed, just slid on the bar. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

You have the original Bridgestone placement now, which I found awkward with my smallish hands. I don't ride these anymore so can't offer a measurement, but I ran the lever tips on a straight plane from the ends of the bars. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Albastache Setup Question.
For those with albastache setups, how wide do you position brake levers? Specifically, I'll be using Shimano aero levers, how wide from hood tip to hood tip?
