If this has been done recently then tell me to shut up( but post a link to the thread first!)
just gone back to riser's after having flat bars and bar end, makes my riding much smoother, tones more control, but not sooo quick up hills so not clear cut for me
do you think its the bar ends that make a difference then?
No reason at all. Why would you think this might be bad idea?
Don't do it this is what happened to the last person who tried it.
Get the ones reinforced with titanium like Race face-toughest on german mtb tests which added force on a control rig until it snapped-best of test.
Assuming the mag didn't lie!
I wouldn't buy carbon bars or seat post again though-last things on my mind when riding hard "I wonder if the carbon bits are gonna snap...".
I'm riding carbon flats and carbon bar-ends on my hardtail...plus a set of Superstar carbon forks...feels nice...but it is my commuter.
amusing.... 🙂 just getting back into riding and risers like ols school cow horns seem to be the rage.. thought may be there was a good reason for it
