Thoughts on bar ends.

They are where I stand to get prompter service in crowded pubs :-)

Thats the one's I prefer however I seem to be getting pins and needles in my
current riding position.

They're expensive, but they're very, very good, extremely comfortable,
strongly recommended. I have them on both my mountain bikes.

Definitely worth having for the additional hand positioning, to help
with hand strain.

I've also found that I can turn to look behind with more control of
the bike when I'm holding the handlebar one-handed by the bar-end.

I've noticed too that holding the bar-ends while side-mounting gives
me extra stability.

( Note that the above comments may be peculiar to my Antipodean
location and/or my septuagenarian status, or they might just be
peculiar!) :-))

Heard good mention of ERGON (or something like that!!) sort of wide and
designed to support the palm.

I've only used them on Pete's mountainbike and I didn't like them - I seem
to want my hands near the end of the handle bar and then the bar ends get
in the way.

Though you can set them inboard of the grips rather than on the outside
if you prefer. Or something like Cane Creek bar ends are minimal enough
that you can keep hands over the bar end more easily.

Maybe it's not solely the bar ends causing the pins and needles.

I'd first try changing positions, one change at a time, of all movable bits
.. I noticed a significant increase in comfort simply by rotating the
handlebars a little so the that the hands contact angle changed slightly.
