I've had trouble with long-term comfort on Noodles; I came away from PBP in 2007 (ridden on Noodles) with hand numbness. I generally have better luck on long rides with more traditional (flatter) bars.
However, my Singer came with Nitto randonneur bars, which are like Noodle bars on steroids, with much more pronounced flaring, and have enjoyed them very much. I still like Noodle bars, but my experience hasn't matched Grant's enthusiasm for the design. --Eric N www.CampyOnly.com CampyOnlyGuy.blogspot.com Twitter: @CampyOnlyGuy > On Oct 27, 2016, at 11:29 AM, Wally Estrella <wallyestre...@gmail.com> wrote: > > The Noodle has worked best for me on all the drops I've tried.
