"How do you like the Sram~Noodle Combo?" It's a very small sample size yet, but so far so good. I think the SRAMs might be the ideal levers for a cantilever brake bike. The glaring shortcoming of the SRAM levers is that it doesn't have a QR button in the lever, which for me means that they are not good for a bike with wide tires and caliper brakes because you wont be able to get your wheels out without deflating your tires. The tektro levers have a QR, which to me is critical for any caliper brake bike. The tektros are also good because they are a nice copy of the Campagnolo lever shape. I'll admit that I think the Shimano shape is terrible. I don't understand why Riv or anybody else likes them, but there you are. I feel my hands are crunched into this little U-shaped space. It's OK for an hour or two, but for all day riding, I'd be very uncomfortable. If you love Shimano, then my review of SRAM might not be worth much to you. I vastly prefer the flat platform with Campy and tektro on the tops of the noodles. It's like a shelf for my hands to just lay there, relaxed. The SRAMs match that shelf area very nicely, so I expect I will like them very much. The little outboard flare of the brakelever is cute, and certainly won't hurt I don't think.
