Question About Bar Ends.

[nsandz]

What kind of shifters do you currently have?

We ordered the Shimano Alivios and they will go on my bike in about 2 weeks.

Also, I ordered the Ergon GC3's. I am going to see how these work out. I will let you know if I do or don't like them. I cannot wait to try them out!

I love Ergon grips. After I buy my touring bike I'm for sure going to either upgrade my commuter or buy a new one with some Ergons on it (i work in a shop otherwise I couldn't afford this option).

I use bar ends on my current commuter and like them a lot. I don't wrap them at all, but probably should. It's pretty easy to fit on either a mtb style grip or wrap a little bar tape around them. If you really want to get crafty you can take an old bike tube and use that as a handlebar wrap. Works well as long as you're not allergic to the rubber or the latex-ish powder used on the insides of the tubes.

I finally got the Ergon bar ends!!! I put them on my bike last night and I will take them for a spin today after I get out of work! I am very excited they feel very nice so far

I love these bar ends! They are so much better than the ones I had before. They are very comfortable and my favorite part is that now my grippers don't move around while I am cycling It feels really comfortable to hold onto these while climbing hills and coasting. Thank you so much!

I have found that, slowly, over time, the Ergons do slip a little. However this is nothing like the stock grips that came with my Trek and they are easy to adjust. Don't you love them though? They are great to have!

I HATED riding with the stock grips, it was so annoying I was constantly repositioning them while riding. I am okay if the Ergons slip over time, it seems fairly easy to readjust them and just to be able to go for a ride without them moving was wonderful I ordered them through my LBS and they were so impressed, now they are going to keep them in stock. I couldn't be happier with these bar ends, worth every $.
