Cane Creek Ergo Control II Bar End
Product DescriptionQuite possibly the most ergonomic Bar End out there, The Cane Creek Ergo Control II's not only feel great to hold, they grip palms and gloves when wet. Making them perfect for climbing in damp climates or those sweaty climbs during the hottest part of the day.In a nice case of cross-platform compatibility, the Ergo Contril II's are not only compatible with traditional grips, but with ODI Lock-On grips as well. For reduced weight, they are constructed from aluminum, composites, and rubber. The aluminum spine and composite support skeleton offer stiffness, while the rubber surface dampens chatter.

from Hamilton, Ontario Date Reviewed: June 25, 2010 Strengths: Strengths? Obviously there are extra hand positions - They're really comfy - I'd say they actually inspire confidence. Being centered on the end of the bar, when you stand on them the stress is spread out axially over the handlebar, not a torque-ish twisting style stress with older "bull horn" style bars. Everything feels strong and in control. Weaknesses: Perhaps a tad heavy, but I'm sure I could shed a few pounds myself to offset the increase....

Great for climbing or just an around town cruise Weaknesses: Hex bolts used to clamp them onto the bars can strip out at the head leaving you unable to tighten them down all the way or loosen them up to reposition or remove.
