 Mount 'em Any Way You Like Feb 03, 2011
By Old Hippie
The great thing about bar ends like this is that you can mount them to suit your individual needs and/or wants. Granted - a pure mountain bike racer may mount them more at a flat angle to achieve a more aerodynamic effect. I bought mine from the LBS (local bike shop)and mounted them at more of an upright angle. This provides a little relief on my old back & gives a choice of hand positions. On longer rides, you, me...anyone will need to shift hand positions to avoid cramping. This is the easy & inexpensive solution.
Made of alloy - not steel - won't rust. Very light & provide good grip on the knurled surface. A must for any long distance riding.

 Beware Weak Threading Sep 22, 2011
By DethElf
I'll freely admit that this was my first time installing bar ends. I was a bit disappointed to see that there were no instructions printed on the back of the cardstock to which the bars were attached, but I'm handy with hardware so it wasn't hard to figure out what to do:
* Move the shifters in about an inch
* Trim a hole the size of the handlebars in the end of the grips
* Move the grips in leaving enough space for the width of the bar ends
* Attach bar ends & plug the holes on the ends of the handle-bars
* Rock on with it
The problems I ran into were as follows:
1. The plugs for the ends of the handlebars consist of a number of solid disks on a central stem. Normally you would expect these to taper down so that they can be inserted more easily and ensure an increasingly tight fit. With these, however, each disc is the same large size making them very difficult to insert and resulting in (what I would consider) a sub-optimal seal.
2. The bar ends are extremely lightweight and it appears that the threads for the tightening nut must be made of the same material rather than being reinforced with steel.
Why is #2 an issue? After all, we want to conserve on weight, right? Well, after my 1st ride with the new bar ends installed, I realized I needed to adjust their tilt a bit further forward. I got the left one adjusted just fine, but when I went to retighten the nut on the right, I noticed that it wasn't getting any tighter. With a sinking feeling, I realized that the threads in the bar end had gotten stripped and it was now ruined.
Now bear in mind, I am NOT some muscle-bound hulk -- quite the opposite really. I tightened the nuts on these bar ends no more than I would have any other component on my bike (or any other machinery) -- until the wrench would require more than wrist/grip action to turn.
I'm really nonplussed that ~$20 just went down the hole for nothing. IMO this is an instance where including some actual instructions would have been handy (i.e. to apprise the owner that only a certain number of turns or a lesser tension is called for).

Great Jun 17, 2011
By Ronald Penton
Bought these last week for my mountain bike. I was interested in having more handlebar positions for long rides where my hands start to go numb. So far they are great! These give me an additional 2 positions to place my hands, and they let me angle my body in a manner that makes it easier to climb inclines as well.
In case anyone was wondering, the top of the ends have caps in them that are easily removed, so I was able to remove the left cap and install a mirror in it, which is the best placement for a mirror in my opinion; putting a handlebar mirror directly in the handlebar made it too low to see. Anyway, they seem to be very stable, so far they are comfortable (though when it gets colder I may end up wrapping them with bar tape; they are bare aluminum and could potentially get pretty cold. We'll see when it gets colder, it's summer now.), and they make my bike look cool. Can't lose at this price!

 different bend angles Jun 10, 2011
By sdfvwr5yvs
The one I got had the left bar end bent to a smaller angle as compared to the right. You can feel the difference outright. But pulling the bike from the lower half should be OK.
The clamp (?) is a little too small. It should have been opened a little more considering you can tighten it with a hex wrench later. Effect is that you damage your handle bar's paint work when forcing the bar-end in. And because of that, I opted not to return the product anymore and just use it--- it will be hard to pull out.

Used on 29er Commuter bike May 02, 2011
By Jaun Carlos
As other reviewers have stated, these bars hold very nicely and have a solid feel and well laid out geometry. I was hesitant to get them at first as I thought they looked strange in the product pictures, but they look pretty good on my bike in person.
These offer a nice wide stance to help with steering stability and are the same diameter as my bike's handlebars (22mm~). If you wanted to get wacky, you could easily mount brake levers and or shifters on these.
