I didn't know they even existed but I've now read a few reviews and it's all positive. About 20mm of adjustment and some nice anodised colours available. Apparently a noticeable difference and some cheap bling from around £15 upwards. Just added a pair to my shopping list.

So I guess that they are worth the money and a viable low cost upgrade;
