I like them too. Over the years I've gone through about 5 bar changes (including the Ritchey Biomax, Nitto Noodle, On One Midge bars, and WTB Dirt Drops) on my LHT and I think I've finally settled on the Bell Laps. Funny thing is, I bought these bars and I had them sitting unused for over 2 years for no particular reason.
