I've tried lots of different drop bars on various bikes and Noodles always feel the best to me. With both noodles and traditional drop bars- when set up with the right reach- I find that when you're riding along on the hoods, and decide you want to move to the drops or hooks, they feel excessively low and forward at first. But if you give it five minutes in that position, your body gets used to it, and it becomes quite comfortable.
After riding along settled in the hooks for a while, suddenly you have the opposite problem- moving to the hoods makes you feel bolt-upright, and you feel momentarily as though your bars are too high. But give it five minutes.... I guess the hard part is finding the right reach, where the tops/hoods and the hooks feel right for their purpose. But as drop bars go, Noodles have the best proportions IMHO. -Matt -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
