i lose respect for anyone that has a go at people with riser and bar ends.
it is like some kinda of sheep mentality, that only the people in the know, know not to mix them. So if you do, you are some idiot and should be scoffed at, just because everyone else scoffs at it.
Obviously there are heaps of bar designs around, i doubt there is one objective truth in terms of what bars should be used when. Look at time trial bars with multiple positions.
so what if i roll with risers and use my ends on the flats and climbs for better hand position and aero.
