    Sturdy, easy to install, and flexible in the positions and places it can be installed. Room for at least 3 instruments and/or gadgets. I use mine for a bike computer, bell, and inclinometer. Significantly better than a similar product from Minoura I have on another bike.

    This product is a good idea for all of us who like gadgets on our bikes but don’t have the room. The big design flaw is that unless you have straight handlebars you are unlikely to be able to mount your gadgets in a level position. It does allow for changing the position but only at preset increments of 30, 60, 90 degrees, etc. So, I took off the nut and reversed it and it allowed me to lock it down on any angle. So far it is working well. One of the things I do like about this extender is it allows you to extend in different directions; up, down, forwards, etc. Another is that it fits the design of a bike and almost looks like a factory part. I mounted twin planet bike led lights on it and it looks awesome and is very functional.

    I have an old school mountain bike with narrow handle bars and very little room for accessories. I did have space to mount my computer and two of these bar extenders. They are very flexible in their mounting location and angles. They can adjust to almost any position you want them. I needed to mount 4 headlights and these two bars worked out great. They actually allowed me to mount the lights higher and farther forward of the handlebars. You can easily fit two headlights on each of the bar extenders. They are easy to mount and adjust even after placement. The only thing I would recommend is using an old innertube or rubber shim to help hold it in place and provide a more secure mounting. Without the rubber shim, they tended to shift on my handlbars, but after putting the shim in, the problem was solved. I highly recommend them if you need to mount headlights and such on bike.

    This bar extender is great for adding mounting space for lights ect, and will fit on oversize bars or stems. I am using it to mound dual lights on the stem of my Rans X Stream and it works very well with multiple adjustment points.
