Hi folks. I might be answering my own question here, but are they designed to fit around the stem shaft

And are they worth buying, basically do they work?

Cheers

Paul

Yes, thats where they go .... no, they dont work!

Always try and run your stem all the way down. If you want your grips higher, then use a "higher" stem or taller bars.

Yeh I've always been told to run the stem all the way down, but me likes it a bit higher. Got some CW Pro bars that are tall enough but for my other bars, I think the flex fighter might possibly be the way to go......that extra inch makes all the difference

The Hutch and early DK type 2in1 jobbies work quite well so long as you don't go for the really tall ones, I was never convinced about the Haro Flex Fighter, too thin to be really effective but the Hutch/DK type ones have a lot more meat on them and are screwed onto your forks in place of a headset top nut. I ran a UK no-name one on my ELF and it worked Ok on that
