Final touch - bar ends - yes or no?

[Xesh]

If by club roost bars you mean risers,then NO

Club Roost did do some straight XC bars bitd.

Personally I fit barends whatever bar I have. Just don't fit another set of barends on the first pair.

Yep they are flat bars - IDB.

Bar ends are useful for a change of grip but I prefer the cleaner look of a flat bar without them and I've never missed bar ends since taking 'em off.

I prefer the cleaner look, too but anytime I finished a build without barends I found myself attaching barends to the bars after the first ride.

Then bar ends are ok by me,I don't use them at the moment but on long rides and climbs they are missed!

I was beginning to wonder that too
b/ends with flat bars only
If you put them on risers then you can leave this site and never darken our door again :shock:

Update - finished the build on thursday and went without bar ends as it looked SO clean without them!

Took it for a proper offroad shake down yesterday and it was fine.

I never used to have them - put a pair of X-lite's on there and they looked cool and I loved having then, been riding a bike recently and i miss the lack of bar ends.
I do live in cornwall though, a county of slow, long climbs.........
