Michael, Sorry for the delay. Didn't have time until today to take some measurements that would confirm my impressions.
The comparison is hardly fair because of the difference in width: the Noodle is nominally 46 cm and measures about 45 cm C-C where the ramps meet the hoods; the GB Rando is nominally 42 cm and measures about 39 cm C-C at the same place. I prefer the narrower bars for shoulder and wrist comfort, and I much prefer the gentle upward curves in the ramps of the GB Rando bar. By contrast, on the Noodle and most other drop bars I often feel like I'm sliding forward on the ramps, even though I know that I am not. My favorite drop bar might be the Velo-Orange Chris's Rando bar, which I have on my touring bike. The ramps are quite long and comfortable. Hope that helps! Have great weekend. -- Bob On Saturday, April 18, 2015 at 5:31:30 AM UTC-5, Michael Leven wrote: > > How's the bar compare to the Noodle? > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
