Review on Origin8 Compe Lite Long Black by Charles Parente

First impression. Got my little horns today. Installation was easy. Thank you to the reviewer for recommending the glass cleaner. I lifted the rubber buffers a little with a screwdriver and sprayed glass cleaner into them. They became slippery and I could easily move them a bit (including the brake and shifters, of course). Then I adjusted the bar ends to an angle that seemed natural to me and went for a test ride. I just got back into cycling after a 20 year break so I'm out of shape. I recently bought a Norco Storm 2 29" XXL frame. I'm 6ft 4" and 245lbs and this is the first bike in my life that fits me. Before the bar ends though my hands were numb after about 25 minutes. Very annoying. I thought these bar ends gave me more leeway to play with hand position and I was right. It worked like a charm. My arm still hurts a bit , but I think a little MTFU will fix it. The numbness is completely gone. Also, on climb sections (I live in Texas, so don't kid yourself too much) I have a lot more power in high gears when I'm in top position shifts. Gives a nice little extra traction. I'm glad. If anything mentioned happens I'll update.
