from Newcastle, UK Date Reviewed: September 14, 2011 Strengths: This product just fits me like no other bar end, even the much hyped cane creek. The central position of the bar mount means you are not stretched out an further so if you have a good position for your bars it give you a good position on the bar-ends. They also allow you to wrap your fingers round unlike the integrated ergon bar ends. I use these with Ergon GX-1 grips and this is where the best strenght lies. The setup allows you to grip your hand/fingers on the bar-end but still rest the heel of your palm on the flat part of the ergon grip, meaning to grab the brakes just requires a twist of the wrist without even talking the heel off the grip! a more superior position i have yet to find. Ive done a LOT of miles like this including 7 day endurance race, 100mile race and many many days out in trail centres, never once have i come across any problems. Weaknesses: Metal screw in plastic, if your ham fisted you'll strip it. Careful setup required. Also being plastic they could break, but again if you get the tightness just right they will just get knocked out of the way rather than break. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $10.00 Purchased At: via someone on Weigh Similar Products Used: Cane-creek, some cheap copy off eBay, Ergon integrated. Bike Setup: Originally on a Yeti-ASR, now on a Salsa Spearfish.

from Detroit, MI Date Reviewed: March 18, 2010 Strengths: -low profile...there when you need it torque bangers and works well with the risers - 63g what! - pricepoint got'em ~$13 Weaknesses: could use a metal nut molded on receiving end of the instead of relying on plastic to hold the hardware thread. i realized this when i first installed them and did crank em. this sometimes results in slip on the handle bar and you have to readjust....this doesn't happen often and has never been so bad that i have to stop the ride.

from St. Louis, MO Date Reviewed: July 7, 2008 Strengths: They are small and light weight. There is a ÈProÈ version now that are a bit more beefy and are way more ergonomic. Iève used them both now. Weaknesses: The plastic is total junk. I read through the earlier reviews and totally agree with most. I owned my Pro versions (you know, the more beefy ones) for only a month and one went flying after my first wreck! Also, I couldn't get them not to rotate on my bars, no matter what I did. I even went as far to roughen up the end of my bars with a Dremal in hopes to add more friction. No luck. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $20.00 Purchased At: Some Web Site Similar Products Used: I hate having bull horns off my handle bars, which is why I went for the smaller size of these guys.
