I chose these over others primarily because they're designed to integrate with my stock Satellite IsoZone Plus grips (with an adapter). The Ergon ones would have been my second choice, but I didn't want to replace the entire grip. I didn't like the look of the Bontrager Satellite+ Isozone Bar Ends, but they probably would have worked for me as well, as far as comfort goes.
Thanks for the info! I ordered them a couple days ago with the proper adapter since it doesn’t break the bank. I figured it was worth a shot. I don’t really see much info from anyone else on BFs so I’m glad to know you’ve had a good experience. The stock grips are comfortable so I didn’t want to change the whole grip either. That’s what deterred me from the Ergons. They should be here in a few days if all goes well.
