I am stupidly happy with this purchase! Bought for my Ergon 3 Grips, which notoriously come with cheap bar ends that pop out with the slightest bump or hit. Then, you end up getting water and dirt in your bars and it’s not really the safest (pro races actually have a pre-ride check for the existence of bar ends and you can’t race without them). Anyway, I was going to buy some Wolf Tooth expanding bar ends that probably cost as much as the grips, but then found these. I wasn’t sure I liked the look from the photos (the deep indentation for the screw looked a little clunky to me), but I love the pop of color of the oilslick (“rainbow”) bar ends on my Yeti. They mostly look purple with a thin ring of blue around the edge that compliments the turquoise of my bike. I also realized that the flat bar end with the indentation for the screw is probably the least likely to get damaged when things go south. Anyway, these things look great, but better than that, they work! I have crashed them already on a big tech rock feature. Scratched the coating a bit, but they did not fall out! I’m really please to not have to worry about the bar ends anymore and to have a cheap, sexy solution. [...]
