Thanks for all the replies! We were originally advised they would pay out cash, but now they have changed their story. Will keep pushing...

I'm sorting out replacing a couple of stolen bikes with our insurance company. I have no interest in one of the replacement bikes (value is >$5000) and I'm looking for tips on what to do. Basically, I'll probably never ride the bike or even have it built up and will look to sell it straight...

Yep absolutely. It's been awesome! Now it's doing nothing. Stupid waste. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Definitely look worth trying. I'm getting a new bike that doesn't have bar ends. Will be interesting to see how I go after years of riding with them.

Nice one. Is there something you insist you have on your bike? My bar ends I couldn’t do without. A painter has a signature in their paint, the bar ends are my signature. 90 percent of riders don’t use them, but I think it’s an advantage as you can open more of your chest, breathe better...

This seems like the most reasonable explanation. This has already been "discussed" here: http://www.rotorburn.com/forums/showthread.php?248715-Bar-Ends-Yes-or-No&highlight=bar+ends

Bar ends for mountain biking, what happened? I still use mine whenever climbing but they seem to have gone to the wayside on new bikes. What's the deal?

You join a new forum only to discover you are a "vet".

I meant the point of the *post* was to accentuate the killjoy aspect.

I gathered that was the point!

Yep, absolutely. Probably the only thing holding me back was that up until today I thought I was a xc bike. Will have to think it over...

Had a (very) brief ride on a 27.5 this morning. Dunno, seems like a bit of a boring half-way house to me!
