well i'm finally in good enough shape to ride again, so i was able to test out Precision's Shock & Vibe clamps on my LTR. i broke both of my arms at my wrists back in may, and in my surplus of time with nothing to do, started looking into flex-type bars. i saw the Precision clamps and decided to go that route instead. when talking to the guy on the phone when i called to order them, he was giving me the salesman hype about how great they are, and tho i figured they'd help my recoverring wrists, i was skeptical of his claims.
oh man. are these things awesome.
my intent for them was to save my wrist from (god fordbid) future catastophic impacts. right out of the box they hardly move when the bike is sitting there, but the first time i bottomed my front shocks on a tabbletop i'd bottomed many times before, the clamps absorbed the energy from the hit great.
going thru a gnarly whoop section (that's just shy of a rythym section) they shined too. i was able to power thru them much more confidently.
here's my favorite part about them, considering my fragile wrists; on another small double that often has me landing right-side first, the clamps took the jolt of the left side coming down, a situation i'd jammed my wrist 3-4 times on before i broke my arms.
cliff notes: if you have bad wrists, these are gold. it hurt to spend what i did on them, but after one afternoon i'da paid twice as much.
