First ride on my SS last night since removing the flat bars and bar ends in favour of some very low risers. It felt well weird and I'm not sure I liked it - not sure I fancy levering open my old Syncros stem to remove the risers again so I'll give it another few rides yet.

Wait til those bar ends stab you in the kidneys on your next off - then you won't like them so much...

Bar ends are great, I've still got some old Coda ones, the long upside downey do-dahs that were comfy as you like kicking about somewhere.
