I found ergon bar ends to be comfy on my loops

That said, I use the cane creek ergo bar ends on my solaris, have had them like that for about 4 years now and they're pretty comfy.

I don't think they'd work well on my loops, would prefer something that moved my hands more forward

That said, that was on 660 loops, I find the 710 loops better for me and have been fine without the bar ends on those (but the bike they're on hasn't been ridden for over 6 months)

I kind of understand (I think) what you're trying to achieve though. Bar ends that are cranked at about the same angle (reversed) as the sweep of the bars, meaning they sit roughly parallel with the centre-line of the bike. Similar hand position while riding to Cane Creeks on flat bars?
That's it Peter :-bd

Just found this while looking for something else.

I think the answer to your question is very wrong.

I was browsing instagram and spotted this, apologies for it being a screenshot but only way I could think to post it from my phone.

I thought of this thread as soon as I saw the picture. Perhaps a less bright colour would be better :smile:

That actually looks ok and usable.
