Ugly Bar Ends

Specialized Bar Ends
Specialized Overendz

I only use bar ends these days for 24 hour racing and my wife has stolen my venerable Control Stix. Two races are imminent. In the search for something to match my carbon bars I found these. They look even uglier on the bike than in the packet, but first impressions are that they feel good.

In my book anything named after Ned has a lot to live up to. I’ll let you know after Mayhem.

Geek Alert: Yes, those are some well worn Onza Porcipaws. “I got all the suspension I need in my grips” was the cry of youth.

    Mayhem is going to be soooo cool this year. Me and two friends are going to film it (as we are only 16). Maybe will get a glimpse of you.

    They were definitely more comfy that plain old round bar ends, and they do make a singlespeed easier to push ;)
