Not that I know they are problematic from any experience. Just that they don't seem right to me.
I know what you mean. I feel the same way (they don't seem right), however...I do have one on a Surly Pugsley fat bike with a wide handlebar with bar ends and I do stand up and crank on it and wrench on the bar ends and that stem extender hasn't let go yet. Installed properly, they do seem to work...dodgy though they may seem...
