I've got them on my bike Neil, you can have a look or give them a try. They just glance off trees, totally work as intended. The clamped in feeling and the definite end to the grip is really confidence inspiring too.
The poky bit is tiny, but fair enough, if I had the choice of which bar end to land on I'd pick something else. I've hit my hands off a lot more trees than I have landed on bar ends, though that might be luck, so the trade off is worth it IMHO.
I'm surprised there hasn't been more take up of them in the Valley. "Counterpunch" is a clever name but one of the WR1 guys called them "Fingerbangs" which is even better...
