Strengths:
Inexpensive Lightweight Durable finish
Weaknesses:
A little too long
Similar Products Used:
TITEC Micros
Bottom Line:
Very good bar ends, but personally I prefer the similar TITEC Micros for mostly personal reasons - they are a little shorter than the Ritcheys, and they angle inward at a slightly greater angle. The WCS are a little lighter, though (90g vs. 115g).
