I went to a bike fitter here in town (long story) and he HATED my 48 Noodles. "Why would you want to scoop so much air and work so much harder?" he asked. And I thought, yeah, why would I? So I switched to some 44 Cinelli bars I had on the shelf and rode for a couple of months in the new, professionally approved, position. After a couple of weeks I put the lovely, super-wide, non-aerodynamic Noodles back on and never looked back. They may scoop more air but my wrists and shoulders are more comfortable and on longer rides that counts for a lot. I like the wider feel when I stand to climb, which I do a lot out here. And I love the more stable feel on descents. FWIW, I'm 6 ft tall and my shoulders are on the narrow side.
