Kickstarter: BarBumps Let You Customize Your Handlebar Shape

I’ve always wanted my bars to look like the have cancerous tumors on them.

Looks more like bar boobs

Why not stuff some extra bar tape under there?

He’s limiting himself by just doing the bump shape. If he did a long ridge shape To reach across the bar top anyone could have an instant aero bar. The triathletes would snap it up.

I think the traickies will love these too, IMO

You could user them where the hoods normally go. It would be a way of duplicating a 3T Sphinx bar. But your could use a stiffer road bar, as from my understanding the Sphinx can be a little flexi in the drops.

I’d love to get a set to try

I feel like zip ties aren’t going to keep them from rotating over time not to mention pointless.

Fine minimal design… My best compliment Shawn !

Specialized has similar product called Bar Shapers (although designed to be placed in the backside of the road handlebar top, to “convert” rounded top bars to a more ergonomic ovalized shape).

It is made of some soft rubber and can be cut to match bar width. I have been using some for about 1 year and works great, climbing hand position has more support, wrists don’t get tired as much. I bought them to make my round profile bar feel similar to an older “aero-ergonomic” bar I had before, only that this time you can even adjust the hand support angle to your needs

Just buy some sugru ( http://sugru.com/ ) and custom make your own in the colo(u)r you prefer.

tity bars!

I like the idea! If you are pain free you will be faster period, we all wear shorts that have a built in diaper (cause they relieve pain) yet are worried about a handlebar with a different shape. Give me a break! Plus the guy is keeping it local, you have to respect that!
