Never did get extensions, but I did change the drops to flat bars.
Thanks for the info! These were $5 at the co op this am so threw them on there as a way to combat headwinds on my 8 mile commute. I figured, if I hate them, I’ll just move them out to the ends! I have the locking type of grips you screw to tighten so I can do that.
Just recently put flat bars on and this is $5 worth of new hand positions!!
