Origin8 Handlebar Drop Ends | bike-mirrors

Bought one drop bar, sorry I did not buy more. Will buy 4 more for all my other bikes. Yes, they are a little wider, because mountain bike handlebars are wide. I actually might saw off and shorten the handlebar, as I don't do gonzo mountain biking, just dirt roads and very light trails. Right now I just pushed everything inwards to get a narrower feel, without sawing anything off. Works perfect, and I can still get a wider grip, albeit with the drop bar between my fingers. I grew up with road bikes, so I feel at home with this handlebar. It comes in handy especially on uphills, for better position and pull. And of course, on good roads, for speed. Unfortunately, I reflexively search for brakes at the end, where they would be on a road bike drop bar. Will get used to this soon ...

Works well and light weight. cheaper than a replacement bars. To fit properly divide by 2 the width between your shoulders measured from blade to blade. and from the center of the handlebar measure out that number and put the bar ends on. Some bars will have to use bar tape and may look off when fit properly. It added 3 mph to my average hourly speed just from the better aero and my hands no longer go numb on bike rides. I also highly recommend getting a pair of road brakes. Will save you from accidents and give you better braking power.

Purchased these for my rigid mountain bike which I use for long distance touring. With the straight bars and bar extensions that I had, my hands were going numb too quickly. Although not perfect, these have helped with the hand numbness tremendously. You do need to practice with these so you can get to your brakes quickly. Pros: Well made Stays in place Can be used with or without handlebar tape, however, tape does make the bars softer. Has different hand positions to help reduce numbness. You can make your own custom configuration - look at the photos submitted by other reviewers. Cons: Too short on the bottom - the part of the bar that goes parallel to the ground should be 2 to 3 inches longer. If this product modeled the traditional road bike handlebar drop a little better, it would be more comfortable. I would take these any day over the traditional bar extensions put onto many mountain bikes. Even though I did not give this product 5 stars (because it can be improved upon), it has been a real hand saver for me.

These are a breeze to install and easy to adjust. I installed these on my Giant Roam 2 (2017) to have some different hand positions since my hands would numb out after a while. The bike is a total hybrid so it can take on some after market mods like these. It's build is a bit sportier (more road like) than some other hybrids. I installed mine about 2 inches in from the ends of each side of the bar. That's not going to give you an aero road bike situation but it'll allow you to lean forward to climb or crank up a gear on flats. They definitely add a new riding position that feels more like my road bike. I'm currently playing around with the possibility of moving these inboard of the shifters and brakes for more of a road bike feel. They would be about the width of my shoulders in that position which seems pretty optimal on a true road bike. I really like these drop ends since you can play around with the install to meet your requirements. They are pretty comfortable in their out of box form but I wrapped them to match my bike. They take on the bar tape very well. Really cool!

I asked Amazon AI if I could turn these upside down and it said definitely not. I ordered them and did it anyway and they work great for helping me sit up straight on my 35 y/o Diamondback mountain back. Stupid AI rofl.

Love these on my "comfort hybrid" bike. A whole new world of aero positioning, more powerful pedaling, and just optional hand placement. Two thumbs up.

I bought these bars for my Giant Cypress DX hybrid bike. Even though I only gave them three stars, it wasnt because they didnt work. Its just that they could work so much better. They are very very small compared to what I thought they would be but the problem is, most all hybrid bikes have handlebars with a slight pull back to them which in turn tilts the bar ends to an inward position. This is very uncomfortable for my hands. I wish they would have compensated for this and made them with an outward angle of about 15 to 20 degrees. This would have kept them at a straight pull back angle. As it is right now, you have to rest your upper body weight on the very small tunnel between your palm just outside the muscle to the thumb. This means that comfort is very short lived. TO SUMMARIZE: they do allow for a different place to put your hands but they do not extend the comfort of a long ride do to the odd angle that anything other than a straight flat bar will put them in.

Over the past season, I've converted my downhill Trek (useless in the flat Midwest) into a trail/city bike, and I regularly put 40+ miles on it per day. Unfortunately, I have some arm and back issues, so despite a good fit, I tend to have numbness and back pain issues when I stay in one position for too long. I experimented with a number of wacky handlebars, aero bars, and other ergonomic hacks, but I found each one lacking. Finally, I ditched the expensive and ineffective solutions and picked up a pair of drops and boxer bar ends. I'm almost embarrassed by how well these inexpensive and totally tweakable attachments have proven to be. The ergonomic drops are vastly more comfortable than I'd anticipated, and I set the boxer bar ends up as a kind of aero bar minus the arm rests—perfect for those placid straightaways. What's more, neither option forces me to give up on the raiser bar I rely on for sharp turns and rough terrain. With three distinct hand positions at my disposal, I can comfortably ride all day, without any of the symptoms that regularly ruined my day. Whether I'm bombing downhill or pushing through a climb, the options available to me now let me achieve my all-time best performance.

何処につけようか少し悩みましたが、とりあえず写真のところに付けました。 少し細いですが、テープ巻いたら良い太さに！ ハンドルバーが広いので、最初は違和感ありましたが、実際坂道を登ったときには、感動しましたね。楽（笑） ブレーキまで遠いので、坂道と平坦なところで、軽く流すときに使えました。 買ってよかったです！

Nice build quality, easy install Allowed me to add drop handles to my commuting hybrid bike.

持っていたクロスバイクでより長距離楽に走れるようにしたいと思い、こちらを購入しました。 この商品を使うことで、クロスバイクでもロードバイクのようなハンドルの下を持つことができます。 良い点 ・ぐらついたりしない この手の後付け製品だとハンドルが動いたりするととても危険ですが、これはしっかり止めることができて乗っている最中に動いてしまうことがありませんでした。 ・バーテープを巻くこともできる バーテープを巻かずにも使用できますが、バーテープを巻くことで自分の好きなデザインにしたり、ロードバイクに寄せることができます。 気になる点 ・当然ロードバイクのようにはならない 下ハンドルを持てるので当然乗るときのポジションは増えはします。 ただ、ロードバイクとは姿勢も異なるので、ロードバイクのように速く走れるようになったりはしないことが留意が必要です ・駐輪場で干渉することがある クロスバイクの横に広いハンドルには加えて、この製品が下に幅をとるようになるので駐輪場のラックには乗せにくいです。特に駅の駐輪場で隣がママチャリだと止めにくいシーンがあります。 ・重量が少し重め 後付け製品なので強度がとても大事ではありますが、重量が重めで600gほどあります。 最終的にはこの製品を外してクロスバイクに乗るようになってしまいましたが、コンセプトは面白いですし、一度はロードのように走ってみたい人にはいい商品だと思いました。

These are a great upgrade for my MTB, which I often use for commuting, but never ride off-road. They replace the bar-ends that I never used (except when changing a tire). Great for slogging into a headwind, or cruising on the level with reduced effort, and very comfortable if the bike is already properly set up. I think the designers got the proportions just right. One caution, if you also ride a proper road bike: When you're using these, it becomes even more important to anticipate traffic conditions ahead, and get out of the drops whenever you think it MIGHT be necessary. My first few rides after installing them, I found myself reaching forwards with my fingers for the nonexistent brake levers... and it takes a measurable time to get back onto the tops of the bars. A good bar tape is highly recommended for hand comfort.

初めて自転車のパーツ等を購入しました。 自転車に特段詳しくなくとも、簡単に取り付けする事ができました。配達された際に梱包されていたのですが、箱越しでも軽さに驚きました。ブレーキの操作やシフトの操作にも支障はないです。ただ個人的に少し細いかなぁ...と思いましたが、そこはバーテープを巻けば良いかと思います。力も入りやすく、巡航時には役立ちそうです。機能面だけでなく、外見もさらに良くなり、これからの自転車ライフがさらに楽しくなっていきそうです。
