What I wish is that Rivendell would tell us what the different widths for the ramps, hooks and drops are for the Nitto B-177 Noodle bars (which he designed). Because his specs don't match anybody else's. Personally I don't like his advice on getting bars wider than your shoulders because I have ridden with wider bars a little and didn't like them for myself.

After looking them over I've decided to try them though. (gerv's post number 27 has a great link for relatively fair prices). My Sakae Royals do slope to the brake hoods a lot and I should experiment a little with something different.
