Zebra Posted November 9, 2020 Posted November 9, 2020 Bought 3x sets, 2 mates and myself. Outperform how I was expecting, according to my mate; great for climbing, and tucking into a big wind cycling the peninsula, weigh next to nothing, and offer 2 - 3 extra hand positions, I like! Recovering from surgery; more info when I’ve done a longish ride...Chris Long Wheel Base and JohanDiv 2

Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted November 10, 2020 Posted November 10, 2020 2012? is it back to the future? Wish I could go back, 2020 was crap and with the plandemic continuing it doesn't seem like 2021 will start any different to how 2020 ends............. Pure Savage and Wayne pudding Mol 2

WrightJnr Posted November 10, 2020 Posted November 10, 2020 Friend of mine got one of those in the ribs and was out for 3 months!!!!I once took a rockshox lockout lever to the lower abdomen in a sudden out the front door scenario. Punctured the skin properly. I’ve not had ANYTHING shaped like a weapon protrude above my bars since! Similar to what I’ve seen the end of a handlebar do to a body if no plug or grip damaged. Gives me chills.... Steven Knoetze (sk27) and Hairy 2

Gives me chills....Everybody breathe...! They have seriously rounded ends, I have had a pneumonia-thorax (punctured lung) on a bike before, these present no/low risk to me, they face away, and even a rotated handle a, low risk. I get where you are coming from, but they present very low risk, indeed. ChrisF, Long Wheel Base, Hairy and 1 other 4

MudLark Posted November 11, 2020 Posted November 11, 2020 Bought a pair of Topeak Supersteel tyre levers for those stubborn tyres. Haven't used them yet for fitting a stubborn new tyre but they aren't great for getting tyres off. The ends are pretty blunt and one battles like heck to get the edge of the tyre lever under the lip of the tyre. Park Tool cheap blue plastic jobs work far better for that. [emoji85]

Wasn't a dig, just thought I would share a friends experience as his low risk turned pretty high when he went OTB.Safe riding bud. Zebra and WrightJnr 2
Zebra Posted November 11, 2020 Posted November 11, 2020 Wasn't a dig, just thought I would share a friends experience as his low risk turned pretty high when he went OTB.Safe riding bud.no sweat, understood, was hoping for ONE person to have a 'wow, that IS cool' moment, instead got 2 people with 'caution flags'! Seriously, all good, and I DO think they are borderline-revolutionary!13-years back, wen Epic still had l-o-n-g gravel sections, I did put alu bar ends in MIDDLE of my handlebars, they worked very well indeed, but with them, I did feel their was a risk involved, so I made extra sure they had the necessesary end-plugs, but yes, over-the-bars could have been 'interesting'!Cheers, thanks for the word of caution, appreciated.Chris WrightJnr, Steven Knoetze (sk27) and Long Wheel Base 3
