Hi fellows, I know you probably already have used the noodle...I can't get over how comfortable they are. I have the bars pretty high to be in a more upright position so even in the drops I'm comfortable. Mind you I like so many other folks have degenerative arthritis in my 7th, through 5th vertebrae. I don't get any hand numbness either. Best of luck in your quest for the right bar.
