Just replaced my Jones bars with these as they're slightly less aesthetically taxing. Had to drop 10mm off the stem length to get the same fit as the bar clamp is further back. Otherwise they're identical.
ControlTech extenders won't fit in these (unlike the jones) as the wall thickness of the alpkit ones are higher.
For Snoops. Try putting them closer AND higher. Standing fit is defined by the handlebar to bb length. You don't want to change that length at all, just have the rearmost hand position higher and closer so it feels like a jump bike. The length of the bars forward allows you to still get an xc stretch whilst having it be really playful at the rearmost position.
p.s £75 on ebay!
