I'm getting confused here. Isn't this a 90s MTB forum? My bar ends have been on risers for decades. I find them quite comfortable. Far more comfortable than drop bars ever will be, and far more control when trail riding. Also love standing up to climb, yanking on the bar ends, and putting the power down.

Now I am confused.

Could everyone please stop talking about barends on riser bars please? I think I'm going to be sick, I'm trying to drink a bottle of wine before bed.

I guess you all are lucky that I'm shopping for grips. Ends have lived here for about 25 years. Will continue to do so as long as I'm living

Took the Granville out for a rip today with the new Ahearne bars. 31.8mm clamp diameter, 830mm wide and 100mm of rise. My neck is still thanking me

I know exactly what you mean, worryingly, but you just made up the word weoggs, didn't you.

No, this is a frame like that, it's a thing factory bent

Sodding auto correct. I promise when I typed it it said weighs.

I'll believe you, but that seat tube angle and head tube angle is very odd.

The rear tire is flat, that alters by a few degrees.
And the seat is too low, they had no clue of setting it
