I don't disagree, though on off road, steep descents, the drops on noodles are too deep and not flared enough to keep my wrists from banging the tops, especially when trying to grab the brakes hard. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch

HI, my 62 cm Hunqapillar has 48 cm Noodles on. I have been riding with them since I bought the bike in 2014. If you put the handlebars high enough you will find you can ride pretty upright (depending on your stem length) and you should be able to be comfortable in the 15 cm lower drops too. The

Drew, I went from jones loop bar (which were a bit too wide for me) to the Map ahearne bars (which were not "aero" enough on long rides) to RM-03s on my Hunq. The RM-03 need to be tilted up a bit, and best with a dirt drop stem up high. I had the 58cm handlebars, with 80mm dirt drop stem on my

Sorry Matt, just seeing this now. Honestly - having a wider flat bar & the option of drops is incredible, especially on the Hunq. Most of the time with drops I ride up on the flats anyways, and now with this bar I've got more control and more options for hand positions. My only regret is not bu

What if i break up my original question into 2 hopefully easier questions. are there any dirt drops where the hood position is comfortable and you can use the brakes and they come in 25.4/26mm clamp size? are there any shallow regular drops that come in the 52-55cm range and have a 25.4/26mm cl
