If someone has always ridden the 38s and is happy with them and not experiencing problems, then leave the poor guy alone. You're like one of those married people that wants to set up their single friends and get them married off to your Noodle bar friends.

I stood over his bike last summer; he has 38cm Cinelli bars on it! I've told him that he absolutely must try wide Noodles. He's not easily persuaded, and has no complaints about his Cinellis, but I still think he's missing out. My Ram came stock with 46's and I don't think I'd ever change them. They're nearly perfect.

I'm another with only Noodles for my drop-barred bikes. Both the long-distance road bike (Redwood) and the singlespeed cyclocross/commuter bike (CrossCheck) run 46cm Noodles. I've done a few singlespeed conversions of 70s-80s road bikes over the years, and i'm amazed at how narrow the bars were then, it's hard for me to ride them. -- Bill Connell St. Paul, MN <BR _________________________________________________________________ Rediscover Hotmail®: Now available on your iPhone or BlackBerry http://windowslive.com/RediscoverHotmail?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_HM_Rediscover_Mobile2_042009 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
