nitto noodle. i don't own a pair, but they seems to be perfect. i played with a pair today. they have the opposite bends as the b135, except for the drops. perfect. expensive and only 26.0.
the other VO ones are 26.0 too.
I'm using a Nitto Technomic with a 26.0 clamp. I have Nitto shims, as well, so have some flexibility there.
The feedback thus far is helping confirm my tendency towards the noodle. I was curious about the Rando's, but because I spend most of my time on the hoods or on the horizontal flats on either side of the stem, it seems that the rando's would not suit me.
