The diameter of the handlebar, or if the the handlebar is ovalized. The Ergo bar ends are designed for round, 31.8mm handlebar clamp.
Its user preference. We recommend adjusting the angle to whichever position is most comfortable and affords the most control.
The Ergo Control Bar Ends require a 18mm of handlebar on each side to fit correctly.
Yes these are compatible with both handlebars made of alloy, carbon, Ti, etc. They require 6-9Nm of torque to fix in place so just make sure you carbon handlebar is rated for this. Most should be.
They are not 100% compatible since ODI's bar plugs click into their lock on grip but the eeBarKeeps will fit most any handlebar and will stay in place with the ODI lock on grips. They will not click into place like ODI's but they will work.

Verified OwnerAs a machinist/ME, building MTBs is a nice hobby to have. I have built a few biked over the past couple years and have had trouble with the plastic pre loaders that come on cranks. Theae alloy pre loaders have a better feel of tightness than the original plastic pieces. Gives a builder more confidence that all the play is out of the crank arms. Plus with the color options, it gives a custom build good options for personalized look.

I have been using the original Ergo Control bar ends on my touring bike for about 10 years, they are finally starting to wear out after 50,000 plus kilometers.
I was super excited to see these bar ends reissued because I am about to start a 2 year bike tour around the world.
I received a set of the new version today and can only give them 3 stars…
They have a different shape than the originals.
The new ones are very squared off on the outside of the palm, unlike the originals which contoured off softly downward.
The new finish is ok, I have to try them for a while to see if they are as comfortable and durable as the old ones.
If you know Oury grips, then that describes the tactile feel of the old ones, sticky without being sticky if you know what I mean.
Now for the worst part… the “universal lock system” simply means no lock system. The originals mated with locking grips which had the double lock system or you could simply put them next to any grips you happened to be using.
The new version doesn’t have any mating lock system, so if you use grips that have a double lock, you will have to have a ring between the grip and the bar end. That is a bit disappointing.
The new Ergo Control bar ends are still the best bar ends of this type on the market, but missing some of the great features of the originals. Too bad…
