Hey, you lot who don't use bar ends cause you keep hitting trees and such with them, why don't you rather just work on your skill level, or buy some talent?

ha ha ha ha. I find they restrict my hand movements on the bars when doing single track. Note I also didnt say they were crap. Instead I said it is better suited to XC riding. They are like a mini version of aero bars on a road bike, but not with the same aerodynamic benefits

They are not cool, but they make a big difference to your comfort over longer distances. I love mine, they are a bit dorky. but who gives a damn. Dont confuse cool with functional / comfortable, a suspension seatpost is comfortable but not cool. On a road bike a triple or compact crankset may be be functional but hell its decidedly uncool

Who remembers these? Zoom Brahma bars. They were seriously cool back in the early 90's!

Zaskar, you got the ones that had one more turn and worked almost like tri bars.

Dude. It's only over when the thread gets locked.

 

DUDE.

 

Well can we get to work then. How do we get it locked down. Bring Bra H into it? :thumbup:

 

And what's with the ballerina spinning right thing!

 

Oh, and where the hell is Dangle, he should have lots to say here?

Or has he left now that his Chief Tormentor has gone to some other forum?

What a waste of time! Who care what things look like. For heavens sake, as long as you are comfortable. Is this a fashion parade? Who care.

Also who care about such a feeble question - jeez man, get real. Forget the image and pose!

Again, there must be better things to do than to post an arb question like this.... what is the Hub comming too?

Are people's bikes so badly setup that they have to resort to adapters to make it comfortable. Have none of you bar-end riders ever ridden more then 100km on a road bike?
