But it looks much better that way! Also, I'm pretty sure that other anon is taking about the mirror mounted on the bar end.

I'm actually thinking of getting one, but it just seems so fragile and easily stolen. Something like pic related is cheaper and more versatile. The ones you wear on your wrist are faggy and look like shit.

To be honest, a mirror will give you bad habits. Yes it will let you see part of the area behind you easier, but it will only show you a little bit creating *blind spots* unless you turn round anyway rendering it useless.

No neet to wrap the entire bar if you aren't using the tops. Saves weight.

That's not the point either, though it doesn't help. Just look at how irregular the wrapping is.

>not using the hoods.
For what purpose?, even pros rides on the hoods, drops are just for descending and sprinting. If you wnat an aero position you still use the hoods and put your arms in a 90º angle.

The hoods are not the tops. That said, everything you said applies equally to the tops. Not wrapping the tops is pants on head retarded-level stupidity.

If it offered any benefit to leave them unwrapped, don't you think the people who earn their living riding as fast as possible would do so?
