Hang in there! I had 48 Noodles on my Ram, w/ a DuraAce stem that was a 120mm, which had me a bit stretched out, and dint get quite as high as I liked; not bad, but.... But it was the stem's creaking that motivated me to do something; I switched to a 110 Tallux stem, but while at it, I swapped down to a 46 Soba... Really like the bar.... It is also a 177 bar, same curves as the Noodle, but doesn't have the center sleeve, nor available in 48.
I don't find the 46 too wide; I didn't find the 48 too wide, either, but for this bike, I realized the 46 was plenty wide... I moved the 48 over to the canti-Rom... But, if your heart is set on a 42 or 44, just keep looking.... I've been known to peruse stacks of bike photos, searching for similar terms, in hopes of finding some oddball item; and then when I do, firing off emails to the person, inquiring about it, where they got it, if there were others, if they'd let it go.... Have gotten several items that way.... -L PS: Abby still loves the purple water-bottle cage you sent her..... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
