What do we think? Looks like a nice way of getting an extra position without adding much weight.

I'd like to try some for sure. Love my Mt Zoom lightweight ally bar ends, but these might be better when using Topeak ergo grips.

I often ride on the road with my hands in that position but only when it's safe, little traffic and smooth road surface otherwise it's all too easy for a hand to slip off the bars. They would be handy on tarmac and forests roads but I doubt I would actualy buy them.

Seeing this yesterday:

It got me thinking as I do often move my hands into that kind of position when covering miles on tow path type terrain (or roads but only if no traffic as I'm concerned drivers will use my arm as a width guide, not the end of the bars!)

I'm a bit asthetically fussy so I'm not sure if I could live with them but I saw the are being tested on here and wondered what the feedback is like.

I use the brake clamp/mount to get a similar position

Yep, that is pretty much what I do.

I've done quite a few miles with them and so far, they're pretty good. You certainly feel much more secure resting your hands on top of the bars. Full review in a couple of weeks.

Thanks. Look forward to reading it.

The added security has its appeal I reckon.

Where did you get them from out of interest?
