I have Noodles on 3 bikes: a 700c LHT, a 26" LHT, and Rawland Nordavinden.
The bars on the Nordavinden are relatively narrow (42cm?), which seems to
work very well with the low-trail (33mm) geometry of that bike: they are
absolutely comfortable over any distance I've managed so far. I have large
Switched from Noodle to Nitto/Compass Maes Parallel,
they work well Ergos.
For vintage non aero levers, Strata Bailey bars.

I used dream bars when they came out but switched to noodles and sold off
the dream bar, I like them very much. I also use Nitto B115, which seem
similar to me without the sweep back and a tad of flare. I can't really

if set up correctly they are very comfy in the hoods.

I love my noodles, though I don't go into the drops that often and am mostly on
the brake hoods.
I'm intrigued by dirt drops, but Do you lose some of the comfort of the hoods
position when the levers are angled inward like that?

I rode noodles for years using Campy Ergo Shifters. On my latest Roadeo, I
installed a Shimano 6800 group ( with Shimano std reach brakes). The
brifters are longer and I needed a shorter reach bar. If I had used a
shorter stem, the tops of the bars of the Noodles would have been useless.
So, I
I like the noodles. I like the dirt drop to. Both great bars as far as drops
go. They look good and make my bike happy. What else could you want.

Since people seem to be voting, I'll cast my vote. I want a couple of simple
things in a handlebar. I want a flat and short top that blends seamlessly into
Ergo levers and I want a hand position in the drops that's comfortable.
I guess I have to admit that I can't recall whether or not the ram
Hello Olof,
I'm in the not a big fan of the Noodle bar club as well. I have a pair
laying around in the garage which had come on the QB when I bought it last
February. I've been riding the VO rando bars at the 50cm width for the past
few years. They rise up from the stem, which is opposite

I like the noodle, but it's predecessor - the RM 13 dirt drop - is my
favorite. I had the former on my Rambouillet until this summer, and the
later on my Quickbeam. Every time I got on the Quickbeam, I was struck by

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,

I found the Noodles quite comfortable, once I ditched the wide ones and
went back to 42s. I found I had to use a stem 1 cm longer, as they curve
back a bit from the flats. The drop is deeper than I personally like, but
the ramps are adequately long to be useful. At any rate, my wrists felt
fine.

The Noodle has worked best for me on all the drops I've tried. I have them
on 3 different bikes.

The 176 looks like a nice bar too.

Unless the bars come from Nitto that way. I mean.

Thanks for the info. I have them on my Rambouillet. They are shorter ramps for
sure but that's one of the reasons I got them. Very comfortable. But after
using noodles for so long I'm used to the bend back on the tops. But seems
like they're just as comfortable as noodles. Even for a century ri
I thought anatomical bars were the ones with a flattish section in the
downward bend for a flat "in the drops" position.
No?
These are also available in 31.8 as well which is cool for those that need
it, has an "SSB" in the product name. Don't think Rivendell carries but
can be found on Interweb
We like them because they have a flattish ramp and a the only good looking
ana-bend ever. I THINK the consensus here is that a Noodle still wins (my
vote, but that's to be expected, I'm sure)...but we don't automatically
