Nitto Noodles? too big I think..???

I found a good price for the salsa pocos....here's my set-up (not the stock photo)

should I get the salsas? my hit is that most of you think it will help me reach from the drops.

I had the Nitto Noodle bars on my Rivendell and they contributed to my long reach problem. I switched to the Salsa Pocos and it did help some. So I also got the Pocos on my new Luna.
I see you already have ergo bumps on your current bars in the photo?....if so and you like the ergo shape, then the Pocos would be similar but shorter reach for you. (it still won't give you longer fingers to reach around the brake levers though, for that you'll need shimmed short reach brifters)


P.S. I still say that's one gorgeous bike!

The Poco bars would shorten the cockpit (length from saddle to bar drop) but not shorten the reach from bar to brake lever???? So she would not have to lean as far forward to reach the bars, but still would have problems grasping the levers?

I tried the Salsa Pocos and I still had the reach problem. The ones I ended up with are like Zen's--Bontrager Fit VR.

ah...excellent points you make....I don't need a shorter cockpit....I need longer fingers....I can ALMOST get them all around...

sooo..I need shims. Or should I get a new set of levers? Or try the shims first.


I'm SORRY if I'm being dense...I can't quite get a clear sense from the thread about my best option.


I know...I'll take a photo of MY hand!!!!

thanks Lisa she's my ride...wonder how ol'Sandra is liking her Aurora....
