Anyone successfully using bar ends on a 17deg Salsa bar?

If yes, details and/or pictures would be appreciated. I'm interested in shorter bar ends that won't be at a funny angle with the sweep of the bar. Looking for another hand position.

Many thanks.

back in the days Ritchey made a barend with a greater inward angle for use on bars with greater "back" angle , U might wanna google/locate such a pair.

Have a look at the Cane Creek Ergo bar-ends. Being short, and mounting both fore and aft of the bar, any angle is less obvious. It will also put them at a very usable angle.

I just found this thread: Bar ends on sweep handlebars?

Looks like the Ritcheys might be the way to go.

I posted it in the earlier referenced thread, but the Salsa 17* sweep bar with the Ritchey "ergo" bar ends is one my favorite combos:

You think they'd work okay with a 25 degree bar? Have been thinking I might try it...

I use Ergon GP3 grips on my 17° bars. I think they work great. The extra hand position is really nice for the longer days in the saddle.

This is the best pic I have of the setup.

I've been running a Surly Torsion bar (15* sweep) with CC Ergo bar ends for a while now and love it. I don't have a picture of the setup, but the barends point forward just fine.

I think the Ritchey bar ends are swept at 35*, so they would at least still point inwards a bit with this bar.

You enjoy those bars sir!
