The reach feels great and is 4cm closer than Noodle drops both for Noodle brake hoods and bar ends/tops. But the paws do get tender. I might try some tilt variations. Anyway, just a fun experiment to try staches for the first time. I'll live with them for a while and then go back to Noodles or Albas if the staches don't do the trick. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
