Started with Moustaches. (good - too much reach) Went to Porteurs. (better - wrapped with the wrong tape color, and got antsy...) Next up, Noodles. (best - but felt just like my Homer) Now using Albas (tied for great with Noodles, but I am still a bit miffed that they swoop up - bending my hands at an odd angle when I'm in the forward position) Next up - may go back to Porteurs or Boscos (like on a another bike)
