{"product_id":"nitto-bosco-bullmoose-bar-cromo-dullbrite-54cm-16248","title":"Handlebar - Nitto Boscomoose, CroMo dullbrite (B909) - quill","description":"\u003cp\u003eBOSCO BULLMOOSE BAR\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Bosco bar, in any width and in any variation (Bullmoose or Nomoose) proves that you can be supremely comfortable and not just mosey around like a sloth. These are as fast as any handlebar, in the sense that they offer stupendously ergonomic grippling whether you're sitting back on a steep downhill trying to keep from doing an endo, or off the saddle sprinting or aggressively climbing a hill. \u003cbr\u003eThere's even a time trial ultraspeed position for when you have no cushion on your way to work and you're fired if you're late one more time. One bar to rule them all.\u003cbr\u003eHere’s how it’s different:\u003cbr\u003eHigher rise even than Albatross bar. Grip is about four inches above the stem—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). \u003cstrong\u003eThe Bullmoosey version has its own built-in stem\u003c\/strong\u003e, but the V-part still allows a good grip.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBest for:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Longish top tube bikes and upright riding. Mountain bike conversions to supa-comfee cruisers. \u003cbr\u003e- Making too-small bikes fit and feel better. Know somebody---maybe your girlfriend or wife---who (like my wife used to) still “holds” the handlebar with her fingertips? The Bosco Bar will fix that instantly.\u003cbr\u003e- If you have one of those iBert child seats and you find yourself awkwardly reaching about the child, this bar will fix that, too.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWorst for:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Short top tube bikes. Go with an Albatross, which is 98 percent as wonderful, and doesn't come back to you as far...which is better for some bikes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSet-up tips:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• If you like the height and straight part but don’t need the grip so close, cut off 2 inches. This works either with bar-end shifters, or thumb shifters on the inside of the downramp.\u003cbr\u003e• Limit your grip to 110mm long, and pull the brake levers back to it, to free up handspace before the downramp. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you have cork grips, you have at least two shortening options:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Bosco Bar is the most multi-position handlebar we’ve used, and like all of our bars (except the Dove), it's bar-end shifter compatible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContext: Each of these passes EN Mtn handlebar tests. That's a crazily tough test to pass.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe steel bars may show a bit of surface oxidation inside the bar. It's not a structural concern, but if that worries you, get an aluminum Bosco instead. These are made in coastal Japan, and there's a lot of moisture in the air. If you'd like to get rid of it, spray a little Boeshield, or rust converter into the bar, give it a pass or two with a pipe cleaner, and it'll be gone.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rivendell Bicycle Works EAST Masa (503)","offers":[{"title":"Bosco Bullmoose 58cm","offer_id":28423735053,"sku":"hb10-16242","price":226.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1403\/7343\/products\/handlebar-bosco-bm-tig-1.jpg?v=1549063906","url":"https:\/\/www.rivbike.mom\/products\/nitto-bosco-bullmoose-bar-cromo-dullbrite-54cm-16248","provider":"Rivendell Bicycle Works","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
