Strengths:    Cheap
Stiff
Ergonomically great


Weaknesses:    None yet

Bottom Line:   
I haven't used these very long, yet, but I love them. I got them in the right size with a short drop and they're perfect for me. The top is a half-dome and it gives a great hand rest spot. They are super comfortable and I love the design.

I have 40mm with the short drop. I have short fingers but average width hands. I ride about a 12-13mph, 30-40mi rides usually.

Strengths:    Price

Weaknesses:    No flat ramp to STI hoods
No cable grooves
Uncomfortable for large hands


Bottom Line:   
The web site says these bars have 79mm reach. The bars themselves are stamped 70mm. If you like a flat transition to your hoods AND the lower drops reasonably level, this bar will not work. You can get the flat transition to the hoods by rotating the bars, but then the drops are unusable. There is no groove for the cable so you get a lump under your tape. I have larger hands, and I can't think of anything I can do that would actually make these bars comfortable for me to use. The only reason I am giving these a 2 is that they might work for someone with small hands.
