Hey there
I have ordered some Nitto noodle bars for a SS project and want some cross tops on it, ideally chrome/silver coloured, need both brake levers? any thing going?
But also does anyone know what clamp size I would need the brakes to be for a Noodle?
Thanks

The Nitto Noodles are 26.0 clamp diameter. (http://www.hubjub.co.uk/nitto/nitto.htm). I have a set and I absolutely love them.

What cross tops did you order? Most are for oversize bars (31.8) as standard but the Cane Creek ones do come with shims for 26.0 size bars. Not so sure about the others.

Oh. And if you want colours then you can use the DIrt Harry levers instead. Make sure your get the correct size for you bars.

And yes - if single speed use two brakes.

Thanks man, I have not ordered the levers yet, so just to get things straight, I know that the clamp size for the stem and noodle bars is 26, but does that mean the brake levers clamp size for the noodles has to be 26 too? maybe Im being daft...

No, the clamp size is not the same as where you put the brake. It's more like 23.8mm.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
