After some of the Ti bars for the singlespeed and these are as wide as i can find that don't require a shim and aren't custom order.

Do not use bar ends with Thomson Mountain Bike handlebars.

And for that reason, I'm out.

druidh - I think that's just to stop people fitting bar ends to riser bars for aesthetic reasons.

Personally, I applaud Thomson for making a stand.

Holy schmokes. Just seen the price. USD price translates to £155 and i presume we'll get 20% smacked on top of that so best part of £190 for a pair of bars 😯 Think i'll have to reconsider my colour scheme to incorporate 'cheap' carbon bars.
