Ergonomic Design Mtb Bicycle Inner Bar ends MTB Mountain Bike Handlebar Ends Mini bar end size small

I was looking to add some inner bar ends to a flat bar gravel bike to give me some alternative hand positions. I wanted to put them inside of the grips but did not want to have to take off the grips to install them. I had looked at the SQlabs versions and the Spirgrips. The SQlabs required removal of the grips and possibly the brake and shifter controls. The Spirgrips were not available to buy online or anywhere else as they were completely out of stock.I decided to try these generic versions as they were hinged and would arrive the next day. I have only done a few rides so far but am very happy with the results. I am still dialing in the exact angle for optimal hand position but have found them comfortable on my fitness rides. They give me five (5) hand grip options. Normal grips, grips with thumb around inner bar, gripping inner bar with palm resting on grips, gripping only the inner bar and hand gripping the flat bar inside of inner bar and using the inner bar as a hand wedge.Time will tell whether or not they are durable, but they seem well made and secure tightly to the handlebars. For now they have completely changed my riding comfort using a flat bar.

I purchased this for long adventure races to have the ability to sit up on the bike. It’s served its purpose for me as my mtb doesn’t have a raised handlebar. I don’t live to use it to rest my thumb like it’s suposed to be used

I run these as inner bar ends. They're comfortable enough to mix up grip on the flat bar to these, but not comfortable enough to hold on to for more than a few minutes. I do like that I can grip these and still actuate the brakes.I probably wouldn't run them as bar ends, as for me the shape isn't comfortable enough to get a full hand grip for an extended period.

The product description didn't mention that this only works for certain hand sizes. For me, it is too large, if I comfortably grip these inner bar ends, my palm cannot rest on the handlebar like shown in their photo, then it is unstable to control the bike. If I rest any part of the palm on the handlebar, my hand will exactly fall on the sharp turn that cannot be gripped. I guess it would be a good product for people with larger hands.

As people have said, these are NOT bar cons or something you will hold onto. They are just a little back stop for your thumb and pointer to rest into. But all you other fingers and palm will be on top of your barsI do think they could be beefed up with a lot of tape.

This adds some extra options for hand positions on flat bars. The hinge allows you to put it on inside edge of the grips without taking the grips off. The clamp is narrow enough to not take up too much handlebar space.If you went over the bars during a crash, these could really hurt your ribcage if you happened to hit them.

I'm quite happy with these bar extensions.Pros: They're a lot cheaper and less "in your face" than aero-bars which (since I'm not racing or doing time trials) I don't need. Just an additional hand position to rest in on long rides, which these do.They're constructed of lightweight plastic but they seem rigid enough not to break under normal circumstances.Some have mentioned they're too small or too big but for me (medium sized hands) they're fine.They're relatively easy to install but...Cons: The circumference of the mounting bracket is rather small and oval shaped instead of round, so you'll probably spend most of your time aligning the screw into the threads.No rubber gaskets were provided, so I had to fashion my own. Not a problem, but this made the brackets all the more difficult to mount due to the already limited space.You'll definitely want to put some thin rubber between these and the bar to keep them from slipping or breaking due to over-tightening (to keep them from slipping).In summation: Once you get past the mounting process, these extensions are definitely worth it. Gaining the additional hand position is well worth the price of admission.

Riding my hybrid for 1-2 hours made my elbows and wrists ache. As inner bar grips, this alternate grip is so natural that it's what I now use 90% of my riding time. Can't beat the price. Easy to install. Even bought a set for my S.O.
