I’ve been spending a lot of time lately on my Redline 925 commuting to work. The bike is equipped with mustache handlebars.

It’s the first time I’ve ridden anything but flat handlebars and I’ve really enjoyed the leverage I can get on a good grind up a hill. Today I was out riding the singlespeed Rig at a local trail with plenty of steep climbs. When I stood up to smash my way up I realized pretty quick that I didn’t have nearly the leverage on the climb that I do with the mustache handlebars. I’m assuming because of my hand placement…

So now I’m thinking of trying out some different bars to see if I can get some that will be comfortable on descends and flats but also give me the good climbing leverage on the uphills.

What are my other choices besides flats and mustache?
