You might have read this post before – It was first published in\u00a0February\u00a02010 and it’s just had a brief update in September 2011. \ud83d\ude09<\/em><\/p>\n My boy has a 24″ Mountain Bike. Ever since he knew he was getting it, he made it clear he wanted some bar ends like his Dad’s to help pull the thing up hills and rest his weary wrists on the bouncy trails.<\/p>\n I know bar ends are a love or hate thing. Frankly I’m not going to discuss it.\u00a0 I love them. With crappy sore hands like mine, anything that helps you move your hands around the bars makes it easier to keep riding.\u00a0 They’re also a boon on steep easy descents, where they help you to get down low into the bike and eek a few more mph onto your maximum reading for the day.\u00a0 Simple!<\/p>\n It’s easy, really.\u00a0 Grip shifts look pretty unmovable, but really\u00a0they’re just slipped onto the handlebars and screwed into place.\u00a0 So grab a cross-headed screwdriver, some allen keys, a little elbow grease and your new bar ends … then get stuck in.<\/p>\n\n\t\tWhy Fit Bar Ends?<\/h2>\n
How’s It Done?<\/h2>\n
