yeah I got some too, they seem pretty good - not sure about the level/combinations of gaudy anodizing on my bike now but it gives me childish pleasure. 🙂

Look like the ones you could get from ebay from a load of different manufacturers.

Got some too -- perfect match for my X-Lite bars (remember them?).

Are the bar end ends of the grip ODI compatible? I need some to go with my cane creek bar ends which can replace the outer clamp of ODI lock ons.

Cheers!

looks like a grub screw tightened into the bar (like a gripshifter) rather than proper lock-on clamps, am I right?

Those screws tighten a collar inside, they don't screw straight onto the bar.

I got some but but for anyone that uses bar ends : they dont work for you. The end caps are part of the outer locking collar.

Yes I thought that when I had a look this morning. Going by the pictures they are different - had they been the same I would have ordered some.

Cheers

Just got mine in the post. I like the look of them and they feel a nice width too. Lets hope they hold up well on a ride. Bargain.
