Bar Ends on Risers
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 -- rec.bicycles.off-road is moderated by volunteers.

The "trend police" don't like 'em. I say if you find them useful, why remove 'em? I even kinda like how they look Bill "hook 'em, horns (or something like that)" S. -- rec.bicycles.off-road is moderated by volunteers.
