I'm a really conservative descender and I hate base bars that have no bend at the end of the bar to brace your hands with.
Just got a Parlee TTiR and the base bar has absolutely straight bar ends.
Got some Sugaru putty and formed pods to give something to brace against. Sugaru comes 3 packages per pack; each "pod" required all 3 packages.
In any case, the base bar now feels very secure while descending; huge improvement!
Thought this might be useful to others.
