Master  2702    CHINA GROVE N.C., North Carolina |  Subject: Are the anti-vibration thingy's in handlebar any good ?I saw these things that can be put in the handlebar to decrease vibration/harshness..... anyone have them and are they worth it to you ? I asked lbs about them and they sed they'd put them in for $ 15. Edited by tri42 2008-09-28 9:56 PM |

Expert 1238  Denver, Colorado | Subject: RE: Are the anti-vibration thingy's in handlebar any good ? Uh...what? Do you have a link to one of these things? Are they basically just something solid that goes inside the tubes? If so, I can see how that could dampen vibration. But the harshness of a ride doesn't usually originate in the handlebars, so I'm skeptical. |

Expert 1238 Denver, Colorado | Subject: RE: Are the anti-vibration thingy's in handlebar any good ? Well don't take my word for it since I haven't actually used these things. But you also might want to think about bike gloves and handlebar tape to deal with vibration. |

| Fishers, IN | Subject: RE: Are the anti-vibration thingy's in handlebar any good ? I would like to get some of the flat-top carbon handlebars. I doubt you can beat that for reducing vibration. They are however kind of pricey. |

Champion 16151 Checkin' out the podium girls | Subject: RE: Are the anti-vibration thingy's in handlebar any good ? You're talking about "Buzz Kills" by Bontrager. Never tried them, I'm skeptical. As for flat top CF bars, Pricepoint.com has an Easton EC70 for a killer deal right now (or they did last week when I ordered one)  |

| Member 45 | Subject: RE: Are the anti-vibration thingy's in handlebar any good ? they do actually work pretty well. the brass ones work better, although they are a little more expensive and heavier. |

Extreme Veteran 644 Anaheim | Subject: RE: Are the anti-vibration thingy's in handlebar any good ? They're heavy and I haven't noticed a difference one way or the other. The nice thing is if they are installed properly, they don't fall out. But, if I was pressed for a recommendation I would say save your money. They are just a doodad that won't improve you riding. |

Master 2702 CHINA GROVE N.C., North Carolina | Subject: RE: Are the anti-vibration thingy's in handlebar any good ? Thanks all for your help.... will probably hold off on them. |
