Another vote for TRP RRLs. I have them on my Quickbeam with Nitto Dirt Drops and on my bikepacker w Klampers. On Saturday, May 16, 2020 at 10:45:55 AM UTC-4, Erik Wright wrote: > > Howdy, > > I have a Roadini set up with 46cm Noodles. I'm using 9spd 105 brifters > that I took off my old

I personally like the SRAM S500 levers for drops. They are more full in the hand, and I believe more like Campy Ergo levers. You can still find them for reasonable prices around 50-60$. Brian “Stonehog” Hanson Seattle, WA On Saturday, May 16, 2020 at 7:45:55 AM UTC-7, Erik Wright wrote: > >

Although TRP and Tektro are actually the same company; TRP (originally Tektro Racing Products) is to Tektro what Lexus is to Toyota. On Tuesday, May 19, 2020 at 5:53:03 AM UTC-4, Fullylugged wrote: > > I'd try the TRP levers because they LOOK comfy, but I have the Tektro > levers and they ARE

If you ever decide to use Campy ergo levers, I use both the 2nd gen (round hoods) and the latest 3rd gen (gumby hoods) with Nitto Noodle bars and love it! Of course, YMMV! Good Luck! On Saturday, May 16, 2020 at 7:45:55 AM UTC-7, Erik Wright wrote: > > Howdy, > > I have a Roadini set up with

Re: [RBW] Re: Brake lever preference with Nitto Noodles

Patrick - yes, those *do* look perfect. When it's time to re-tape the bars I'm gonna get one of these. Looks like they come in an assortment of widths and a couple of stem clamp diameters, too. Thanks for the tip! On Tuesday, May 19, 2020 at 12:23:27 PM UTC-5, Patrick Moore wrote: > >

I have TRPs and Shimano Tiagras on my Noodles. Both are incredibly comfy with Noodles. On Saturday, May 16, 2020 at 10:45:55 AM UTC-4, Erik Wright wrote: > > 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

[RBW] Re: Brake lever preference with Nitto Noodles

Agree that there bar lever combinations also much depend on bars. I found the noodle to be less sensitive to brake lever choice as they have fairly long ramps to rest your hands on. Shorter reach bars like the Salsa Cowchipper (my favorite drop over the past 2 years) are more sensitive to

I have the TRP drilled levers on one set of Noodles and Cane Creek SCR-5 on another set of noodles. I like the TRP levers better. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails

Part of the comfort issue here may be the bars themselves. One of my road bikes is set up with noodle bars and Shimano 600 brake levers. I find this combo to be "reasonably" comfortable - the bars are hawked as having "flat ramps," i.e., smooth transition from the top of the bend onto the

[RBW] Re: Brake lever preference with Nitto Noodles

I'd try the TRP levers because they LOOK comfy, but I have the Tektro levers and they ARE comfy. Also reasonably priced. Have the same added quick release clearance. https://blueskycycling.com/products/tektro-rl340-road-braket-levers-pair -- You received this message because you are

I also use the IRD Drilliums on my Noodles and like them a lot. They have a button where you can open the brakes up more to remove a wider tire without deflating. The main reason I like them is they have a "thicker" feel between my thumbs and index finger when riding the hoods--but that may be

I never got along with 9 speed STI levers. That is one awkward feeling hood shape! back when I used Noodles, i used Campy 8 speed for a long time, and shimano barcons with various brake levers. Now I use compact short/shallow bars with 10 speed shimano STI levers, the later model with
