This whole post could have been just two pictures. But no, it only includes one picture, of bar ends, not what they’ve been replaced with. I guess I’ll never know.
- itomato 5y agoDepending on who you ask, the whole ergonomic bar category replaced bar ends. Sheldon Brown wrote about them: "These are mountainbike/hybrid bars with built-in bar ends. They weigh less than the handlebars alone on the typical mountain bike or hybrid, and they give lots of hand positions. The ends sweep forward in a nearly 180 degree curve, and the whole curved area is usable to vary the pressure points on your hands. These are much better than staight bars with bolt-on bar ends." https://www.sheldonbrown.com/scott.html https://www.sheldonbrown.com/scott.html Personally, I have enjoyed riding the AT-4 Pro for a decade: http://www.bikepro.com/products/handlebars/scott_combo.shtml http://www.bikepro.com/products/handlebars/scott_combo.shtml
