[RBW] Re: Seeking Comments: Mark's Bar vs. Noodle Bar
I switched from Noodles to Mark's on two bikes. I prefer the Mark's.

Re: [RBW] Re: Seeking Comments: Mark's Bar vs. Noodle Bar
Curious: can you say exactly why? I also prefer the 185 shape, but only on bikes with bars 4 or 5 cm below saddle.

[RBW] Re: Seeking Comments: Mark's Bar vs. Noodle Bar
I have the same Cinelli bar, which hasn't been used in a few years, but I just reinstalled it on my Trek 626. My impression is much like Patricks. I ride at the back of the drops a lot and that bar is quite good for that. On the other hand they feel tight when I move my largish hands into the hook. But all in all a pretty good bar, but there is a reason so many of us have migrated over to noodles. Most comfortable for long rides. michael On Feb 8, 10:20 pm, PATRICK MOORE bertin...@gmail.com wrote: I can't speak about the Noodle, but the Mark's IIRC is very like the old Nitto 185 which in turn is like the old Cinelli model whose # I forget: medium drop (140 or 145 mm), very short reach (90, IIRC), very short ramps. I use the 185s on 3 bikes and like them a lot, tho' I might switch to even shallower (135 mm drop) but longer (115?) old Maes copies that BQ now sells. The downside of the 185s, for me, is that, if you have the ends parallel to terra firma, as God commanded, then the ramps are rather steep. I think the Maeses have a tighter curve so that, with hooks level to earth, the ramps are still flattish and, at any rate, longer.
