Thanks, Patrick. Yeah, there was some discussion of drop bars previously and I
think it was you that tried to clarify the nomenclature. I didn’t go back to
that and hope I used terms that are generally accepted. Here are my hand
positions, from top inner to bottom outer:
Tops - inner
Tops - outer
Curves
Ramps
Brake Hoods
Hooks
Drops - forward
Drops - aft (including the bar end shifter bodies, if present)
One of the defining features of Noodle bars are the generous Curves and Ramps
sections, which are their own hand positions (for me).
