Bar Ends on Risers

[Tony Scilipoti]

This newbie is wondering why bar ends on (low-) riser bars are
considered such a no-no. Is it something about the rise? (In which
case, why should 3/4 of an inch make a difference?) Or is it about
something else, like the length or the sweep? (In which case, it's not
really about riser bars at all, right?)

I've been riding for several months with ends on my shallow-sweep
risers and am perfectly happy with the setup, but I'm wondering if I'm
going to wake up some morning with corn stalks growing out of my ears
or something.

Thanks in advance.
- Tony

The "trend police" don't like 'em.

I say if you find them useful, why remove 'em? I even kinda like how they
look :)
