Re:Why did bar ends go away from mountain bikes? by bch on Monday May 24, 2021 @05:37PM (#27270021)
What I heard is the biggest issue ties in with mentioned (perhaps inadvertently): carbon rims. Asking them to be the braking device (with associated heat-sink requirements) can cause them to catastrophically delaminate. They can’t safely perform that double-duty like aluminium rims can.
