Getting my Muddy Fox ready for Saturday's FOD ride I realized that teh stem I had fitted was, if I am honest, too short for me.
Not having another stem to hand I decided to fit a pair of X Lite stubbies for nothing more than an extra place to put my hands in lieu of the short stem.
I have not ridden with bar ends for years - certainly since the mid 90's. TBH I think that usually they are a bit of an aesthetics killer.
However ......... after about the first 30 minutes of riding I realized that not only were they a good idea/fix to the short stem but they just worked with climbing etc.
I was truly dumbfounded :shock:
So ..... for future builds, rides etc I will be giving serious consideration to the addition of bar ends regardless of aesthetics*
