How about bar ends with some reach which are positioned midway between the bar end and the stem? That's what I would like. I purchased Ergon GP5 and they are nice. But they go on the end only. They won't move farther in toward the stem. I will also use some bar ends on the end. Both. Standard mountain handlebar.

Anything like it? Goodly amount of reach. Any suggestions?

thanks,
Montobo

There are a gazzilion options for bar ends that can slide in past the end of the bar.

Just google “long bar ends” or “extra long bar ends”

This one took me about 8 seconds to find:

Thank you, Kapusta. You may well have answered my question.

Also, maybe I did not describe my problem well enough. Some of the bar ends do not slide on.

Such as:
(I am not allowed to post URLs). Go to Amazon, Search: Ergon-GP5-GFK-2015-Newer/

I bought this Ergon GP5. It *does not* slide on past the end. Yet, honestly, I cannot tell that by looking at the picture on Amazon. Also, the text does not tell me either. I bought it and--no sliding. I would have to drill out the plastic end. Not what I am looking to do.

Thanks.

You wouldn't be the first. Here's another recent thread on the topic

Anyone else using bar ends this way?

Current trail bikes are really too long for this, with very long frames and short stems. For a more traditional bike it seems fine to me. Surly puts the Moloko bar on the ECR but a standard riser bar on the Karate Monkey

Thanks everyone. Thanks Darth Lefty. The link to the other thread was helpful. I ended up ordering SQLabs 411. I believe it's the design I'm looking for.

Cycle on!
