Default Bontrager Bzzzkill Harmonic Balancers for your Handlebars?

i just stumbled upon these...Bontrager Bzzzkill Harmonic Dampers - Southern California cyclists prefer Jax Bicycles!. they're only 10 bucks. checked the reviews, they're mixed, like everything else, and i gotta make sure they come in 7/8ths, and i gotta modify my throttle tube, i think.

but it might be totally worth it.

I think a pair of high end gel grips will work better. I tried a couple of bar end solutions on a 650cc thumper m/c and wasted my money.

yeah, i dunno. but they're only 10 bucks, so i think i'll try 'em out. i agree with the physics involved, so, i'll let you know...

i'm also running an aluminum pit bike throttle tube, and i've got a good pair of MX grips (Moose stealth grips) and it's way better than those hard plastic, lawnmower grips.

I have been working professionaly on very high end race bikes etc for almost 20 years,and I can assure you tie will be the worst 10 bucks you have ever spent trust me they do not work,the have been the but of many private jokes amongst the mechanics at the shop I run,bandito is right a nice paif of comfy grips will be $ better spent.
