Title: Will scratch your bike!
Product review: Bought these on a picture they had that showed a different configuration and with rubber at both ends to protect the bike's finish. Got them with the metal pins that will scratch and gouge the finish of your stem or wherever it contacts the bike. I ended up putting foam insulation for pipes (from home depot) cut to fit between the pins and the bike and this remedied the scratching and gouging issues it is not practical though as I have to have some foam at hand always as they will eventually wear out the foam. I later bought a Saris bar and it is way better and is better designed and has not scratched or gouged any of my bikes.I have driven well over 5000 miles on BMX and Mountain Bikes with these and have never had a pin come undone or bend, but the scratching and gouging issue is the deal breaker here, I would not recommend at all!
