About Bar Ends

Bar ends are used by cross country mountain bikers, touring cyclists and long distance riders who require an alternate riding position, rather than just the grips. Bar ends offer a different position to the standard flat bar grips by allowing you to rotate your wrists by 90 degrees and allowing you to be able to pull harder on the climbs when out of the saddle, or just to relieve the boredom of the single position when on longer distance rides.

Hope Grip Doctor Bar End Plugs 4.2 5 127 127

Do what you need them to do Expensive but nicely made. Have solved the problem of the bar plugs falling out of my FSA bars. Good product. 08 July 2010

Great looking bar ends, good match to other Hope parts to trick up your ride, my fixie is looking sick. 30 June 2010

Not as easy to kit as you'd Hope Even those these bar bungs come with Thick and Narrow rubber shims, even the thick ones don't work well with thin aluminium walled bars. I had a bad of a time getting mine tight in the bars. Once in though, they seem to stay put and will probably stop the bars going through your leg! 29 June 2010

Grip Doctors, do exactly what it says on the tin. They are great, fit well and perform perfectly. Just don't drop your bike or you'll have em scratched and scarred up in no time. Hope kit is unparralelled to be honest, great . 29 June 2010

Answer:

I don't see why not. The only contact between the bars and the bar end is the rubber part. Should be fine as long as it fits into the bar.

how are these used?

hi I just received these and they are much smaller than I expected. Are they really meant to be used as bar ends to allow wrist rotation (what I need them for) or are they just end plugs?

I've not put them on to try - maybe they will work as bar ends, but they seem too small to "grip onto". I can't find any pics of them in use.

Answer:

They are indeed intended as end plugs. They way they work is when you tighten then allen key (you will need to tighten it a fair amount) it causes the rubber backing part to expand therefore securing them snugly into you handle bars.

These are grip doctors, their sole reason for existence is to hold on your grips and plug the end of the open bar. They are not bars ends no.

juampa

Answer:

I imagine that they will fit most bars. As you tighten the screw it expands the central rubber piece to lock into the bars. I have standard road bars and they were too small out of the bag but a few turns and they fitted nicely. Once in, a few more turns and they are locked in place.

Answer:

The supplied black rubber plug is about 14mm diameter. This will expand within the bar as you tighten the hex key and will then remain in place. You can always buy various sized rubber plugs at hardware stores and do a MacGyver.

What is the diameter of the rubber inserts before being compressed?

I bought another brand of alloy bar end which only just squeezed into the bar with a lot of force and which was supposed to support 16mm to 20mm bars. I'm guessing my bars are 16mm internal diameter and I want to know what the rubber insert diameters are?
