I really miss mine and I'm thinking about getting some more. Can anyone suggest some? I think this thread could do with some pictures too 🙂

Cane Creek Ergos, they let me avoid putting weight on arthritic thumbs. And they are on riser bars with grip-shift.

just about to refit some to my 750mm havocs and will be fitting them to the 780mm bars on the Bird 😀 But I do fit them inboard of the grips on bars wider than 720mm.

Yes, wide flats with CC ergos, due mainly to dodgy wrists

Funny, I was thinking about this on last nights commute, bar ends are such a good hand position. I was on the P7 and thought a set would be just right on this. Might get some Ergon minis.

Yup - on the commuter. Tioga stubbie pros. Miss them at times on the xc bike but never on the 'big' bike

I've got a '94 Fire Mountain restoration project on the go and a pair of VGC X-Lite bar ends were one of the first things I sourced for it.

Specialized Overendz (?) on my Canyon 29er hardtail with flat bars. Also building up a Singular Swift that will have the same.
£20, grippy rubberised finish, great shape - love them.

Yup, a MTB doesn't look right without bar ends. Mine:

i have all the barends.

2 stubbies under the bar tape - should probably try and patent that idea or ill get sued by someone 😉 and two ergon bar ends at the ends of the bars.

all in the name of multiple positions.

She'd probably want handlebar tassels, so I'm trying to prevent her finding out about them.
