Is there a good rule of thumb for how to change your stem when switching to
Albastache handlebars?
Right now I run a 100 mm stem with 44 cm Nitto Noodles. Any suggestions for
which length would be the best based off this info?

If you want a cheap DIY version, you can buy surplus M65 jacket liners for
about $10. The sleeves come off easily by snipping some stitching. Some
have buttons on one
Its good that is not a rule of thumb Leroy.

Hi Erl,

Dear Patrick,
I think it is pants from a pair of pants which is a shortened form of
“pantaloons.” Pantaloon was a singular leg cover hence a pair of pantaloons or
“pants.” I think the term eye glasses must have evolved similarly.

A few thoughts on this thread:
1) That eyelet is actually a cast part of the dropout, not a braze-on, unless
I'm mistaken. So it's quite a bit stronger than it looks. Still, I agree with
the consensus that the hanger (also cast into the dropout) is going to be
stronger still, and I wouldn't
Some very elegant stuff. I'd like to know more about those *pantalons de
Paris* and the "Trousers/Plusses"*.* The full plus fours are a bit over the
top for today's aesthetic, I fear. And of course the shoes look nicer than
most sold today. But I'd probably buy a few pairs of the *pantalons* and

determined that it is a bad handlebar for all human hands

My hand surgeon told me no. The albastache puts pressure on the ulnar nerve
directly in almost all hand positions. Also no matter how I set them up, brake
access sucks. I couldn’t get the levers low enough. Three unsuccessful carpal
tunnel surgeries later, I actually listen now.

I have three thoughts on this:
1. The recommended torque rating for a cassette lockring is typically 40
N-m. For those who don't know what that means, that is solidly in the
"Really freaking tight" regime. Like as tight as crank bolts. In my
opinion, that torque rating for a cassette
One time a cassette came loose on the road and I used tw0 Allen wrenches to
just screw the locknut back on and it held fine after that for rest of ride.

Another 26" wheel fan here. My 53cm Atlantis has them and I concur with you
on the confident handling, cornering and turning in qualities this bike has.
Good to know a 26" wheeled Atlantis is still available.

Definitely eye protection.
Be careful shooting into vent holes-sonetimes blows back out at you.
At minimum remove wheels and cover brake calipers/pads so you don’t have to
waste time deep cleaning the frame saver off the rims and replacing pads after.
Outdoors best. Stuff goes everywhere.

Feel just as good at all heights/extensions tried. Any drop bar I have used

Albas/Boscos good too.

more likely, everyone's habits are different, and then there's use of core
muscles - the only time we should be leaning on our hands is when we're
braking.
If you grab the bars in the wrong place, they're not going to work. If you
set them up in the wrong place to begin with, it's hopeless.
Should you desire to keep your bicycle forever consider a full disassembly.
If you do the application yourself, assemble everything you will need
before starting. Buy a small blanket to work on. Work in an uncluttered,
well ventilated area. USE EYE PROTECTION. Allow enough time. Do one coat,
