I used to poke myself in the knee frequently on the Atlantis with Albatross bars. Mainly in slow speed turning.
Right now, have one bike set up with Shimano bar ends, one with Silver. While I like the Silver, my actual preference is for the Shimano shifters. Both are friction mode. Am just finding it hard to get "exactly" into each gear on an 8 speed cassette with the Silver. (That might end once the Hillborne gets a rear wheel with a Phil freewheel hub and 7 speeds.) Did 60 miles on the Hillborne today. With some hilly terrain. It was often "just about, just about, there. . . no not really, just about, now there." On the other bike with Shimano it's "there and done." But maybe that's just me.
