Grip is about four inches above the grip—almost twice as high as the Albatross grip. If you find the Albatross grip plenty high enough, don’t give the Bosco Bar points for being even higher.\u003cbr\u003eIt comes back a lot. Way back. So far back that it’s probably too much retreat for a normal road bike, but could be ideal for a mountain bike. \u003cbr\u003eIt’s straight on each side of the stem, so you get a good, natural time-trial position (also good for fast riding anywhere). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHere’s its best use:\u003cbr\u003e- Longish top tube bikes and upright riding.

Hey, about seven degrees or so. Don’t measure it. Try that, and raise or lower to suit.\u003cbr\u003eIf you like the height and straight part but don’t like or need or want the grand amount of retreat, then cut off some.  Keep enough room for a grip, brake lever, shifter, bell—whatever you want to fit onto the straight part.\u003cbr\u003eConsider shortening the grip to hand-size, then shifting the brake lever back to butt against the grip. This lengthens the upper grip area in front of the brake lever (or shifter, too, if you have that there). Even with a non-shortened grip, you have a really good second hand position. But a shortened grip makes it true “full hand”, and you may like that.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you have cork grips, you have at least two shortening options:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKnife way: Slide grips onto handlebar. Grab with hand, mark where to cut, and cut with a sharp knife. You won’t do a perfect job, but it’ll be good enough. Mark the cut-off area with tape first? As you wish.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGrinding wheel way: Yep, grind away the cork on a wheel. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Bosco Bar is a wonderful bar. It makes even the most uncomfortable bikes comfortable---really. It’s transforming. It’s not magic, it’s not the material, it’s not design genius, it’s just the higher, close grip. It’s the most multi-position handlebar we’ve used. The 58cm has 39 inches of USABLE \u0026amp; EXCELLENT hand space. Every grip is natural (err…gonomic). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's bar-end shifter compatible, too.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHere’s how you decide which variant, if any:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're a smaller person, go for the 52. It’s wide enough and fits between parked cars and traffic with 3cm more clearance than the 58cm. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you're broader in the shoulders, or a trails rider, get the 58. The extra width is something you might not notice if all we had was the 52, but since we have the 58, go for it—-if you’re a trails-riding, open road-ridin’ person.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGet the 58 if you are tempted to ask the weight difference. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContext: Each of these passes EN Mtn handlebar tests, which are the strictest, most ridiculous handlebar tests out there. Some carbon bars do, too, but a metal bar maintains way more of its strength as it ages, and certainly suffers wear and cuts better. You can get roughly the same shape handlebar cheaper. Nitto's Promenade bar is a mini-one of these. It is a city bike bar for light riders, NOT a long-termer for all-around use, including hard stuff. WALD makes a similar bar, steel and all, but it's not CrMo, and certainly wouldn't pass EN tests. And there are, no doubt, others. Nitto makes the best handlebars in the world. And, from an importer\/wholesaler's point of view, also the most expensive. Bosco bars \"enjoy\" a minimal margin, because at some point they have to be price-competitive with bars that aren't as good and don't cost as much from the manufacturer.

It is the only bar in the world with this luscious look, this super quality, and that'll fit mountain bikey brake levers and bar-end shifters. You could just as easily set it up with mountain bike shifters, but it was designed specifically to work with bar-end shifters, and doing it that way frees up more room in front of the brake lever, for a good off-the-saddle climbing grip. I\/Grant like riding this bar now, and ride it a lot (average 60 miles per week year round on it); and I just know it's the bar I'll ride full-time when I'm rickety, too. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlbatross \u003cstrong\u003eCromo\u003c\/strong\u003e is made of steel (alloyed with chromium and molybdenum.)

We got Tom's approval to recreate it with the slight modifications noted below, and Charlie, all he wants for our using \"his\" name on this modified bar, is one of them for himself, and that's easy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the handlebar that graced the early production mountain bikes and defined the breed. It first appeared on the Ritcheys, but by 1982-4 or so, it was on all the Japanese models. It was always an expensive bar to make, and that combined with the onset of the weight-obsessed mtn bike in 1985 killed it. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Bullmoose bar is still unequaled for rough terrain. You're a big guy on a big bike riding fast over rough ground, and the wide bar lets you manhandle the bike like a monkey manipulating a peanut. You wrestle it here, pound it there, lift it over that last-second cow-pie, whatever. The 66cm wide bar gives you the leverage you need, and if you don't need it, cut off an inch or so. But try wide first. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMore normal bars are easier to make, offer more adjustability, weigh lessbut represent a caving in to practicality and manufacturer's wishes at the expense of this bold, unique handlebar style. In some tiny way, in the right circumstances, under the wrong influences, some slightly irrational person in the passion of the moment could say that being a bicycle rider in the 21st century without having ridden Bullmoose handlebars is like being a photographer who's never shot film or rewound a roll of it. True, film and rewind levers have been around and more popular than the Bullmoose bar, but this is the bar that really made the mountain bike, back when the mountain bike was tough and manly, rough and tumble, all business and unsissified. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere were Bullmoose variants, and the one we offer is yet another. It retains the signature triangle and the expansive width of the originals, but with two subtle differences that make it the best one yet (so we think). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e(1) The far end of the triangle is curved. It looks just as good as a flat side, but offers a friendlier place to perch your hands, if you want a change-of grip.

Drop bars are pretty good that way--you grab the hoods, and all's well. But grabbing the rear grip portion of this bar feels even better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• A more rearward grip option. With a drop bar, it's all level with or forward of the stem clamp. With Albastache bars it's easier to sit upright.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Less drop than a drop bar. Most drop bars drop 3 1\/2 to 4 inches. Albastache bars drop only one. Less leaning, and less weight-shift to the front wheel when you brake. Better braking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Super comfortable \"hands on the hoods\" position. The hoods lie flat, so your hand lies on a wide, comfy bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt fits road brake levers and bar-end shifters. We recommend a stuffy stem. Try a 5cm to 8cm max.

The top flat portion sweeps back toward you slightly, bringing the bar closer, and the drops (lower portion) flare out four degrees. But the main thing is the ramp the portion of the bar immediately behind where the brake lever fits. The ramp matters because you put your hands there a lot, and if it's too steep, the support isn't there and your hands slide forward and down. On most bars the ramp is about 24-to-32-degrees, but on the Noodle Bar, it's a much flatter 15 degrees. When you tilt the bar back properly, so that the ends point downward about 10-degrees, that already flattish 15-degree ramp becomes 5-degrees, so even if your hands are slathered in butter, they won't slide down off of that. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis has become our most popular drop bar, and some folks grumble that now they have to get one on all of their bikes. If you're debating between two sizes, consider that a wider bar offers more leverage, so you can more easily hold the bike as your legs (which are much stronger than your arms) push on the pedals and tilt the bike. We don't go along with the idea of getting handlebars as wide as your shoulders. Most people do better with wider bars.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE PHOTO SHOWS A GOOD WAY TO SET UP THE NOODLE (or any other) HANDLEBAR. Rotate them up to flatten the ramp, set the end of the brake lever a bit higher than the bottom of the bar, and you're all set. All of our drop bars are measured the same way: Center of the curve to center of the curve. The normal way is center of the end to center of the end. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe measure center of the curve to center of the curve because our drops have a slight flare below the curve, and measuring the ends would give a false impression of the width you'd actually feel. It's not complicated: If you're a small person or want to do the narrow aero thing, order a 40 or 42; medium person, get a 42 or 44; medium-large, get the 46; large person, the 48; bikepacking or trendy gravel person, get the 52 or 54. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25.4mm stem clamp diameter, 95mm reach, 140mm drop.

Using the Wavie drawing as a jumping off point, we asked Nitto to both increase the length of the grip area to 207mm and bump the angle backwards toward the rider another 8 degrees. After that we spent a couple of weeks trading drawings back and forth trying to the get the radii of the bends just right, for a smoother, more grab-able, and better looking front section. While we were at it, we asked them to give the bar 3.5cm of rise, the same as a Billie bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe left the width as the somewhat dependent variable, and that came out to 68cm, hence the name. It's neither narrow or overly wide. You can chop it to narrow it down, or, like Antonio, you can add bar extenders, to push it out to 72cm. Everybody here thinks anything above 73cm is just too wide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eIf you do chop it, make sure to use a shorter stem than what's recommended below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStem Recommendations\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor the Roadini, Sam, and Homer, get a 9cm.

If you like to be more upright, or you cock your Brooks saddle nose up, subtract a centimeter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor non Riv road bikes, use a 10, or even 11cm. If you've got a stem that's in the ballpark, try that one first. Swapping stems is easier with the RBW33 than a wrapped drop bar.

If you want more, put two or three doubled-up brocolli rubber bands on them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e• you can double-layer the tops, or add half of an existing plastic\/foam grip. The squares are long enough when you wrap the 5-inch side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e• They can get wet, but they'll dry faster than unshellacked cotton. Not as fast as plastic, but fast enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA common grip on assembled-here complete bikes has a layer of wool against the bar, then a wrap of cotton around it. It works, but to my hand, the wool feels better than the cotton, so it seems a shame to cover it.
