It's crooked but it works
The mounting hole is approx 3/8" off so it's kind of looks crappy if you stand and take a good look at it. I thought it was a defect and thought of asking to exchange it until I read some other reviews which also said theirs were crooked so it wouldn't matter since the replacement would probably be the same. Tried to "cheat" by offsetting the mounting bracket but the brackets are actually very sturdy and won't allow this. I use it on my everyday (work days) mt. bike and it works fine, but doesn't look pretty if that matters to you. I decided I could live with that for the price since all the others I have seen at the bike shops are waaay more. Most likely these were defects/rejects that some mfg is trying to at least get some money for. I am disappointed in Amazon for not seeing the issue in the other reviews and including a note about the defect. If they said its defective/crooked but cheep in the first place I would have given it 5 stars and wouldn't have been disappointed.

Max size is 25.4 mm , Low quality
For those of you who don't read Chinese, the max diameter is 25.4 so don't buy if you have 31.8 mm handlebars. In addition, shims are included to as low as 22.2 mm. However, you are better of using rubber from an inner tube to make sure the shims have enough friction to stay in place.Installation is very tricky. Not user friendly at all. It requires much patience and good dexterity with hands and fingers. Requires a wrench and allen key.For those wondering, yes, it does come with a glasses cleaning cloth for some crazy reason. You can use the cloth to wipe your sweat.To top things off, my bars came with uneven drilling. They are offset by about 1 cm. This is a huge and unfix-able flaw. The bars do not point straight. They are off by about 15 degrees! I don't know about you, but I want my tri bars to be pointed straight. Maybe I got a bad product due to lack of quality control. It was only $20 so it would not be worth it to return such a large object. The product would have been perfect had it not been for this flaw. You can take your chances and hope you don't get a defective one.If an amazon rep is reading this, please give me a $20 credit for helping future customers from getting problems. I am disappointed in amazon carrying such a defective item.

You get what you paid for
To be truthful I didn't buy this for its intended purpose. Rather I just needed a loop of tubing which portions of this provided.I will say that although it sufficed for my purposes I would have been very disappointed it I wanted it for the advertised use case. The quality is low in terms of detail. The rubbery covering was all dinged and ragged, the mounting holes were obviously not square with each other, it just appeared to be a rush job or worse yet 'used'.You get the same sense as when you look at a vehicle that has been in an accident and the repair job failed to get things aligned properly. The whole thing has an 'off' feeling to it. Don't know how else to describe it.Again, it sufficed for my needs so I didn't send it back. Doubtful your needs match mine so you'll be disappointed. Not recommended.

Works for leaning forward but rotates around handlebars.
Installed easily enough. Took a bit of finger dexterity, but if you know how to use an allen wrench you'll be fine. The included shims helped it fit the bars. My problem with it is that it slips on the bar. It will rotate around when I put my weight on it. No matter how tight i get it on the handlebars it rotates down when I put weight on it. If it would stay put it'd be great.

Ok for the price...
The couple of issues I have it's that metal against metal does not fly with me, so I made a couple modifications on the installation, but you don't have to make any changes if you choose not to; and secondly, the arm rest broke on me on one of the padding, so I must now look for a replacement! But other than that, it looks great on my Mt. Bike!

Best bang for the buck
This bar has made all the difference in my riding. I'm still a noob at road riding but, with this I can ride farther and faster than without it. My shoulders and neck don't cramp up like before and it stretches my back out as well. True, it's not precision-machined ultra-lightweight kevlar/titanium/carbon nanotube etc... but it's the best bang for the buck I've found.

It is what it is
If you're looking for a subpar chinese made set of areo bars to go on your subpar chinese made bicycle, then this product is for you! The packaging sucks which is probably why things didn't line up that great. I got it on the bike though and now that it is attached, it does the job.
