Does everybody use them these days? NO

 

Do they really add benefit to your riding? Some say they do.

Only people with riser bars.

 

And, yes, again, only if used in conjunction with riser bars.

Did have them on, not any more. I don't like not having my hands right at the end of the bars, felt too sketchy and as if I wasnt in proper control. I changed to ergo grips and dont have any worries :thumbup:

Absolutelty .... not neccesary.. Just ride with decent grips. I can position my hands in a bar end grip, without the bar ends if I need a change of hand position. Once trown, twice shy :)

I used to find a bar end useful, it stopped my glass slipping off the edge. Did nothing for my cycling though, and I still got numbness in my hands and the rest of my body.

Spending money on good grips is a good option.

No worries, not your fault. It was good, very good. Maybe those okes are Hubbers... Still cheaper than most places though.
