Origin 8 Bicycle Drop Bar Ends Black – Reviews

These are not a perfect substitute for drop bars. If you really want your flat bar bike to have drops, and you have money to spend, or a supply of parts to use, then do a real conversion. You’ll be happier and more comfortable.

However, if you have a flat bar bike that you want the ability to ride in the drops from time to time, or you’re trying to get drop bar comfort on a tight budget, this might be your answer.

The most obvious issue is that you do NOT get a ‘hood’ position, unless you have a set of brake levers to use. You do get the down in the drops position, but it takes you completely away from your brake and shift levers. You might be able to do some adjusting on this front, and get reasonable access to some controls while in the drops — I was able to do some shifting, for example — but better to plan to move your hands every time you need to slow, stop or shift.

Quality seemed excellent, and the installation was easy and secure. They weren’t especially light, bu

If you want brakes on these drop bars as well, you can get inline brakes from cane creek, those will allow you to have brake levers both on the top bar and on the drop bars.

i have these on some riser bars on a commuter type bicycle. i have added some foam pads to the bar ends and with that they provide good utility. where you might have stretches with little braking they allow for a good tuck riding position.

with your hands on the top of them at the end of the flat bar they assist with climbing and most fingers/thumbs can probably apply a light brake force from this position as well.

thus far they have been a useful accessory.

So, I have a Trek 7.3 hybrid. After doing a couple 75 mi rides, the straight bars provided on the hybrid get a bit annoying, as they only provide a couple different hand positions (believe me, I have gotten creative). I am in grad school, and cannot afford to spend 100+ dollars on converting my straight bars to drop bars. Thus, I bought these, and they are great. I had to cut my grips a bit to get them to where I wanted them, but they provide great alternatives for grips, as well as providing a more “aerodynamic” option. A couple of the other reviews said that it is “scary” to switch grips to break, as the hybrid breaks are on the straight bar. However, unless you do the transition like a sloth or turtle, you will be fine. I highly suggest this product.
