So far, I don't have an answer to that question, but that's okay, since that's saving me the cost of a Cross Check.
Keep pace in the peloton, leap 100 miles of road and gravel, punch into a Kansas wind tucked into the drops, confidently rip through corners on a mountain descent, tote gear for a campout? What kind of MTB do you have that can do that. None of mine can.
And I love bar ends, I actually buy them and install them on bicycles on purpose.
