I am struggling to find a carbon wide flat bar that also has strengthened ends so it can take bar ends. The Use ones look great but can't find a uk supplier.

I am after 710 - 730mm, any suggestions?

Thanks

Are you sure you want bar ends on something that wide?

I don't know yet as i haven't tried it but I want the option. I ran bar ends on my previous flat bars but they were only 600mm. This is for a 29er that I have just got so kind of feeling my way around it all right now.

Maybe I am way off the mark and bar ends not required which would explain why so few wide flat bars have reinforced ends.

[url= http://www.winstanleysbikes.co.uk/product/48751/USE_Atom_Carbon_Flattie_Wide_Bar ]Winstanley[/url] list the USE bars

I've just bought Thomson carbon flat bars from them but don't think they have strengthening inserts

I use Mt Zoom ones. Bar end friendly if that's your thing.

Super wide and super light.

I run 'ends on 760 flat (alu) bars. But I'm pretty tall/long arms, and like the leverage for getting my winch on.

I have ordered the USE bars from Winstanleys. They are a special order though and twice before Winstanleys havent delivered on that sort of thing so will go for the mt zoom ones if this falls through.

Thanks
