MintSauce Posted January 24, 2007 Share 3k for both? That sounds cheap!Hope definitely makes some of the finest bling around! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thug Posted January 24, 2007 Share Wanted 2.3 for the rear and 0.7 for the front. Looking at CRC, the price is comparable to the DT Swiss 240's, but the biggest question is..... how do they compare from a longevity and quality point of view?

AndreZA Posted January 24, 2007 Share Why don't you just get these. I'm sure they come from the same factory.http://www.bbbparts.com/products/bike_parts/bar_ends/images/ergofiber.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their attention to detail and overall finish is impeccable. If you're considering it, I'm gonna do the usual and tell you to have a look at the reviews on mtbr. Don't think you can go wrong though.

Remove the end caps, replace the bolts with Ti ones and maybe sand them off to the bare alu. You'll spend another R300 worth of time and money to save 3g.
