Date Reviewed: June 12, 2001 | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Strengths: | right size, comfortable | | Weaknesses: | none (well all barends limit my hand position a bit on the handlebars, but that´s just me) | | Similar Products Used: | unnamed crap | | Bike Setup: | Cannondale F1000 | | Bottom Line: | Pretty good, one of few CODA components that I like, right size and shape for good gripping, but do catch branches a bit ´cause they don´t bend very much inward (and catching branches can really hurt, trust me)

Date Reviewed: May 27, 2000 | | Favorite Trail: | Secret One Behind CVS Pharmacy | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Strengths: | They are very strong, and the grip is very nice and keeps you on the ends. Color is nice, no cheap chrome crap. | | Weaknesses: | They are "tree-hooks", they don't bend inside, so they are suceptible to catching any nearby limbs. | | Similar Products Used: | No-Name on Old Bianchi | | Bike Setup: | Fisher Hardtail with RockShox t2 | | Bottom Line: | Good Bar ends, not too big, not too small, but great for anything that requires barends (looks? riding uphill?). not too expensive either. i give it 5 blazin' roaches for appearance and grip. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

3 months | | Bottom Line: | These came stock on my C'dale Super V 900. But I needed a hi-rise handlebar and sold the bar-ends with the original handlebar. Man, do I miss the Paquito's! Because of the dual bends, you can get alot more positions on them than on other ends. The sandblasted finish gives you a great grip and the laser etched logo looks decent. I'm going to have to buy another pair to put on the hi-riser-- who cares what it looks like, it'll be comfortable and more versatile. Another kick-ass product from the boys in Bedford! | | Overall Rating: |
