Duration Product Used:

Price Paid:
$20.00
Purchased At:
?forgot? Maybe Pederson's
Strengths:
Long bar end. Improves riding posture when set up high.
Weaknesses:
None so far. With my setup (90 degress from ground level and slightly bent forward)it makes jumping harder.
Similar Products Used:
Kaelin barends.----run run run away!
Bike Setup:
Iron Horse 2.0 8 sp XT everything. Mavic crossride wheels.
Bottom Line:
I LOVE the extra long design. I set mine at 90 degrees then just slightly bend them forward so I don't kill my back on the flat parts (I can sit upright). I noticed a reviewer here put that the bar ends are like Bon Jovi and are Slippery When Wet. I agree they are also hot when sunny. I eliminated these problems by wrapping them with roadbike cork wrap. An easy way to kill $20.00 and like it.
P.S. What am I supposed to do with those super short nub-bar ends? Please Email me, because the bike shops around here tell me it is a personal preference.

Bottom Line:
I own the extended version and, for the price, these are great bar ends. They've really improved my shitty bike's climbing.

Bottom Line:
These barends are fairly light and are strong, there short length is also well suited to my riding style. A proble associated with these barends is that when wet they can become quite slippery.
