Gonna give the VO Rando Bars and Nitto Dirt a serious look. I'll post my thoughts back to this thread. Jayme On Monday, June 1, 2015 at 9:41:57 AM UTC-5, Jayme Frye wrote: > > Bent my Noodle bars in a crash and must replace. Part replacement always > stirs thoughts of what else is available th

The nitto randonneur bars have longer ramps and flairs, I believe. While the ramps are flat, they are also swept up a bit. I think they are measured at the drops, and since the hoods are closer to accomdate for the flaire at the drops, I would get a bigger size than normal, but would definitely

Ron, Thanks for the list. I use and like the WCS bars on one bike and noodles on another, so I must be on the right track. :) Jason > On Jun 1, 2015, at 3:13 PM, Ron Mc wrote: > > Hi Jason if you look at bars like Ritchey WCS - the reach measures the same > as noodles - but they are much

Re: [RBW] Re: Alternative to Noddle Handlebars

Hi Jason if you look at bars like Ritchey WCS - the reach measures the same as noodles - but they are much flatter than noodles. Deda Newtons are equivalently long and flatter. Modolo X-boost is longer. My favorite drops are compact - Cinelli 64 On Monday, June 1, 2015 at 4:18:49 PM UTC-5, J

Re: [RBW] Re: Alternative to Noddle Handlebars

Ron, It has been my experience that modern bars have the shortest and most steep ramps. Even in the page you referenced the author mentions that ramps shrank as a response to integrated shift/brake levers. Was there a specific bar you had in mind when you said that? I really enjoy both flat ramp

Check out the Nitto RM - 013. Similar to noodles, but more flare in the drops. Just enough to keep my forearms from hitting the tops whilst in the hooks/drops. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group

Compass Bicycle has Nitto made copies of French handle bars. Long ramps, more flair than a Noodle. https://www.compasscycle.com/product-category/components/handlebars/ I ride Noodles on one bike and the Maes parallel on a couple, easy to switch between bars. -- You received this message becaus

[RBW] Re: Alternative to Noddle Handlebars

Rando bar has more flare, Maes bar has more reach, the longest flattest ramps are on modern ergo bars, but they typically have zero flare. You might want to look over this website: http://ruedatropical.com/2009/03/road-drop-bar-geometry/ On Monday, June 1, 2015 at 9:41:57 AM UTC-5, Jayme Frye
