Also, see Matt Chester on 63xc.com and on his own blog, 5 meters of
development (worth reading for other issues as well -- he's wordy and weird
but has some interesting takes on off road riding, off road bikes, and off
road bike setup. I personally find the Midge-+-Tektro hoods combo to be one
of t
I was thinking "if you don't like angled hoods..." The Midge hoods are more
angled than the WCs, at about 45 degrees, vs the WCs almost vertical. The tops
on the Midges are narrower. I do have the narrower Woodchipper bars, so that's
something to account for, re my opinion. Twentynineinches.com
Is this necessarily true? I didn't use the Woodchipper very long at all,
but they are wider than the Midge and seemed to have a steeper flare and
less comfortable hoods -- it was some time ago, so I may not remember
accurately.
But the Midges are definitely worth a look, if not a try -- somewhere
The Midges give me 4 hand positions including the very relaxing flats position.

I have a dark green Brooks B-17 on my QB, and it's never left any coloration on
clothing, even in the rain.

Nice bikes -- interesting setups. I'm surprised you get only 53 mm from a
60 mm Big Apple. Are they new? Mine have measured up to 65 mm on wide rims.

They're out pretty far, but not problematically. Nail the hood width and
don't worry about the flare.
They fit on Dirt Drops if you can get the 25.4... guess I should have kept
mine!

Oh my! Helps to scroll down a bit. Never mind. I also see that the 42 cm
bar is 59 cm wide at the hooks' ends, so there goes that, too.

The Woodchipper only comes with a 31.8 clamp diameter.

Keith: interesting observations. I'm curious about the differences between
the Midge (which I've recently found to the be ne plus ultra of flared,
offroad drops) and the Woodchipper (which I disliked at first sight: wish I
had one to compare to the Midege).
My own objection to the Woodchipper was
