Price Paid:

Strengths:
Inexpensive; alloy part is strong enough.
Weaknesses:
Slippery, end caps break easily
Similar Products Used:
Control Tech, Cane Creek Ergo II
Bike Setup:
Ellsworth Truth
Bottom Line:
No knurled grip on these Sette bar ends may make them cheaper to produce and sell but means they are wicked slippery compared to my beloved old Control Techs bar ends. Also, one minor crash on each side was all it took to break the weak plastic end cap caps off. Fix these two issues and I'd give them a top rating.

Bottom Line:
Very pleased with these bar ends. I am an extreme researcher and it took me a week to select this brand and I couldn't be happier. Purchase these if money is tight but you still like to shred. As for the Sette brand, I am looking into there carbon bars and Al. stems. Will review after testing.
