There's also a review on Pinkbike which I will be following to cut down my bars wirhout extra investment

Obviously anyone who's not feeling sad or self-sorry can also apply...

Anyone that might become more miserable if they knacker their handlebars doing a bodge, need not apply

Sorry Shaf, I can't be arsed reading all that ... it looks like a pair of grips, thin grips I'll grant you but aside from that why should I be getting excited?

Absolutely no reason whatsoever .

At £67 for the DIY version, plus the time to fit and the eternally disappointing reminder you got it slightly wrong every time you ride your bike one has to admire the marketing genie-arse that came up with...

"...this is a relatively simple fix to a high-stakes problem - a loss of control from the cockpit of your bike."

Well done WTB.
Clearly: a product conceived in The Pub .

Yes. Very good point that. They are the blue version and for bigger hands. I thought they looked quite niceand so got 2 sets. Gonna try bodging em onto my Ragley Whatever bars without spending anything extra.

The couple of hours spent trying to get em to fit and cutting (bodging) down the bars, might be a couple of happy hours (not thinking about the rest of everything)...

Alternatively: you may find it more fulfilling to embrace the (mild) disappointment of investing in a pair of grips for a tenner; then cheer yourself up by investing the other £57 in cake or chips .

If you desire hand / wrist suppose how about these?

Best “investment” I made for long distance, flat bar riding.

Surprised WTB didn’t call it the grip system.
Design gone made.
“Get these grips, you’ll have to replace your bars, or introduce your existing bars to Mr Hacksaw”
Genius

Those grips are more distressing than England’s first half at the cabbage patch this afternoon

[redefined_cycles]

Sorry. I think my initial post I forgot to mention. Its a gift if anyone would wish to try. I got myself 2 pairs. One for myself and one for anyone that wishes to try em out

Sorry on the confusion front

I have some of those grips, they're great for widening a bar - I just use them without the bar cut so the grip overhangs the bar by 30mm or so. The soft end area's really good.
