The Ergon bar-ends' angle ARE adjustable independently of the grips.
I have the early version with the tiny bar-end; it is indeed close to worthless. Not only is it very short, but it is rather sharp on top so it cuts into the palm a bit. On aa few other bikes I use the BBB brip with normal barends, I find the BBB ones superior, they are softer so conform better, plus are cheaper. The ergo-stiks weren't cheap.
I didn't mean to imply the Ergons weren't adjustable. I'd originally followed my comment about the adjustable barend by saying I didn't know if the Ergon was adjustable or not, seems I lost that point in editting for brevity. Sorry if I trod any toes.
Don't know what they cost Downunder, but the Ergostiks barends are $21 USD +shipping from that seller on Amazon I linked to. Less than half the cost of the Cane Creeks.
