Orange Ram Horns were just plain awful...I loved my Onza Ti, and my current X-Lite pro alto 1's.

What really gets my goat are those who put their barends either upside down or back to front, wheel chair style! :shock:
 
Are these bar ends cool?

I bought some carbon bar-ends on impulse on Friday for a race on Saturday and they were a god-send. Stubbies, naturually. They look supercool on a flat bar, too.

Definitely agree that they're a no-no on risers

Here they are in use

I used to have an all in one bar, I think it was called a Brahma Bar, it had extra long grips that went all the way round the curved bar end part. Were these ever cool?
 
I had Brahma bars as well, coupled with a Flexstem I must have had about 2" travel when on the ends of them.

It was amazing when I went back to flat bars and a normal stem... so much more control :LOL:

Another downer on the those Brahma's was that your hands were always cooped up because the curves meant the grips had to be nearer the middle - nice idea, but rubbish in use.
