Right, as per another recent thread I've gone and bent my Nitto RB021 bullhorns. The right side has both been pulled lower and inwards (somehow).
Anyway, I'm sitting here contemplating cutting them down to make them shorts, which is a conversion I was considering anyway, but obviously not with these bars.
Am I being a little handicapped by getting cold feet? I'm just wondering if there is anyway of saving the bars, getting them re-bent into normal position (I guess nigh-on impossible), but am concerned that they are probably now prone to stress fracture.
Also (as per below) they aren't flat and do angle downwards slightly a few cm out of the stem, A problem for riding with when short? I just don't know.
Shall I just do it and be done with all this 'fannying about'?
