we should have got a heads up on the 3kg Nutella for R200 that is already sold out :angry:

Buy a bag of sugar, some cocoa powder, some oil and you can make you own. Okay, there are a few other minor ingredients, but you’ll get a similar result with those ingredients.

 

Edit: and some milk powder too.

That is very neat, I think I'm going to order one.

Same same, thanks for the heads up @Mars1967!

Some tips from reviews from the individual Granite tools:

 

- Check that they will fit in your handlebars (diameter)

- May rattle, but can be fixed with a rubber o-ring

Thanks for that, went back and checked before ordering and says "aluminium bars only", so not sure if that REALLY means I cannot put them in a carbon bar? (Merida Team CC)

Got mine yesterday.  Depending on the ID of your handles bar ends, need to be 18+ mm to fit in.  I also have carbon bars and the are just too big to fit.

 

But I'm going to make a plan, about 20mm in it widen, so I'm going to use a round file to open it up a bit.

 

So yes, with some effort it can work on carbon bars.

wait, are you going to file away at carbon, at the part where you hold onto to prevent your stem from altering your teeth?

you are a brave man.

Calm down guys, in the end I only shortened the bars by 20mm each side and then the opening was big enough for the tools to fit.  I filed it a bit just to smooth after sawing and made sure I didn't breath any black stuff in the proses .. :-)

 

I have original Rocky Mountain clamp-on grips with closed ends.  The tools are snug inside, works like a charm, no harm done to the integrity of the bars.

 

Anyway, where you need the bars to be strong is in the middle where the biggest bending moment will always be, what happen at the bar ends far less important.
