Re: [RBW] Best Nitto handlebars for Shimano 105 shifters?
Isn't the Nitto 185 very close to the Cinelli 64? I used to ride 185s and "Giro d'Italias" exclusively, and I thought that the latter was another name for the 64. (Just googled and it seems that the same bar goes by both names.) At any rate, both of those I used were 90 mm reach and 140 mm drop: short indeed, but deeper than, say, the Maes reproductions that Compass sells (125 mm, IIRC -- and 115 mm reach). I think that the 185 would do very well if you don't mind your bar ends tilted down; put them horizontal, as I prefer, and the ramp is pretty much non-existent. But with ends tilted down, the short ramp would complement long hoods. And yes, an old 26.4 Cinelli fits just fine, thank you, in a steel Tioga "Dog Bone" 25.5 mm stem.

Cinelli 64 (the original dream bar) is very short reach and shallow drop. But it's perfectly flat across the top. You might want to look at this wider bar geometry chart since it shows many different bars with brifters in place, gives reach and drop when available http://ruedatropical.com/2009/03/road-drop-bar-geometry/ On Wednesday, March 19, 2014 1:29:45 PM UTC-5, JL wrote: > > The combination of shimano sti levers, which have long hoods, and nitto > noodle bars is not ideal.

Re: [RBW] Best Nitto handlebars for Shimano 105 shifters?
The combination of shimano sti levers, which have long hoods, and nitto noodle bars is not ideal. The hood length on non sti brake levers is much shorter - my guess would be about 1.5cm shorter. Nitto noodles already have a long ramp. That, and the location of the curve make the noodle/sti match troublesome. The shape of shimano's sti levers does not help the matter. Try nitto bars with a shorter ramp and different curve profile. M176, M185, M186, and M195 The 185 has a more traditional bend than some of the others. Noodles have a reach of 96mm, if you move to a bar with a reach of around 80mm it should work better. I recently went through this process, hence all the information. I opted to go with ritchey biomax bars. Here is a link to someone's blog (not mine) that includes a pretty exhaustive list of Nitto handlebars and their information. http://stuffdavelikes.wordpress.com/a-full-list-of-nitto-bars/ jason SF,CA -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] Best Nitto handlebars for Shimano 105 shifters?
A friend of mine has the Mark's bar with Shimano shifters (Ultegra) and really likes it. The difference between the Mark's bar and my Noodle is obvious when the bikes are together. For the record, I like the long ramps on the Noodle, and sometimes rest my entire forearm there for a different position. But, as they say - everyone's different. Anyway, here's the Riv description, picture of comparison to Noodle, etchttp://www.rivbike.com/product-p/hb6.htmJoan On 03/18/14, Bruce Smitham wrote: Hi group,I currently have 46cm Nitto noodle 177 bars with Shimano 105 shifters on my Sam Hillborne. I like everything except the ramp and hood reach is a little far away to comfortably brake. I'm looking for a different Nitto handlebar and it's a little confusing. I want a shorter ramp so when I move from the flats it moves quickly to the hoods. Does anyone have any knowledge of the dirt drop or rando bars? It would help if you know the model number. Looking for 26.0 X 44cmI appreciate any feedback,Bruce, San Diego-- 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 from it, send an email to rbw-owners-bunch+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com.To post to this group, send email to rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com.Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/rbw-owners-bunch.For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
