Howdy, I have a Roadini set up with 46cm Noodles. I'm using 9spd 105 brifters that I took off my old road bike, and I'm struggling to dial in the feel of the hoods. This is partially due to the lever / hood design (pretty boxy and bulky, don't like it that much), but I also can't work out the bar to hood transition, if that makes sense. I'd like a smooth transition from the top of the bar into the hood position of the lever, in effect creating a feel of the bullhorn handlebar. After many micro adjustments, I just can't get that with this lever/bar combo. Either the levers feel too close and create a harsh/abrupt transition to the hoods, or they're too far below the bend for my liking.
I figured I'd switch to downtube shifters and go with the Tiagra BL-R400 that Riv sells <https://www.rivbike.com/collections/braking/products/shimano-tiagra-road-brake-levers-15091> and uses on most of their bikes, but wanted to check in and see if anyone here has a different lever that they *love* with Noodles. Brakes are Paul Racers, if that's a factor. Let's hear 'em! Erik, Philly p.s. Riv's out of stock with those Tiagra levers so if you have some in your bin that you'd like to get rid of, consider this a low key WTB post. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
