What's the best way to install bar extensions on XC?
Do the existing grips need to be cut away to accomodate the clamps on the extensions?
Concerned with crushing bar ends to clamp extensions down.
Also, are there any other issues with shifters and brake levers?
I tried a friends bike with extensions and found them very functional for climbing and hand position changes on long rides.
Thanks in advance
Bar ends - Yes you need to cut the grip. It depends on what bar it is, if its aluminum you shouldent have any problems crimping it. Alot of times installing bar ends makes everything more cramped....shifters, brakes. Good luck...
