[drewc65]

Have just taken bike for a 30 miler after a service and having bar ends fitted. By Evans Bristol top job all round and had the specalized sps2 firred. Look and feel the part and make a great difference when going up hill. Must say thanks for all that answered my post from a few weeks ago asking if bar ends made a difference you were right as usual

What do u mean by bar ends ? The circle pieces that push into the ends ? What's the difference If changed

They are like small extensions that clamp on to the end of the handlebars . I find that they enable me to use upper body strength to help get up hills .I asked about them a couple of weeks ago and had positive replies sohad a set fitted and i do think they make a difference

They do look peculiar on drop handlebars though...

Glad you found the feedback useful and were able to act accordingly- I literally live on my bar ends and glad you like them too!

They really seem to make a difference am going to try to conquer a hill which has been beating me tomorrow. Think they could put the odds in my favour. Cheers. Again for input.

On my sirrus just had to move the grips along after trimming the end off and just push on the ends and tighten up a couple of bolts with a Allen key. Had to get some plugs to go into the end off bars but it was a simple job ( if I can do it anyone can )
