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.

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

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!

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 .

Best looking bar plugs on the market
Put quite simply these are the best looking and best made bar end plugs out there. I've got 4 pairs of these now. Easy to install - better gripping mechanism than other manufacturers offer as well.

Bling
The only bar caps I've owned that don't fall out or break when my ambition exceeds my skill on the trails! I fitted the silver set so scratches don't look bad. Expensive but worth it imo.

Reliable, simple, durable.
These have been installed in my bars for well over a year now, they've been in and out a few times and show no signs of failing.

Look good
Bought these for my road bars and in red to go along with my lizard skin bar tape, but it just didn't look right. Used them on my mountain bike grips and they look excellent. Fit well. Only downside, but not a criticism, being on a flat bar, they are more prone to scratches but that is not the case if used on drop bars.

Bit of bling
love the colour and have other bits on my bike to match the blue,

Well made product that also looks the part.
Lovely and well made product. As stated in another review, like to keep to one manufacturer so that the anodising colour is the same across the bike. Also purchased because I love Hope parts and the fact that they are British made.... Can never go wrong with that!!

Quality Item
Nicely made product, adds a quality look to your bike. Fit well, look better than horrible plastic plugs.

typical classy finishing kit by Hope
I use Esigrips on all my bikes but the bar end caps are very cheap and tend to fall out quite quickly . So I bought these as a replacement . I love the fact you can colour coordinate with other Hope kit . They screw in very firmly and look so much better than any of the plastic versions . The only negative is they are very easily scratched , I propped the bike up against the wall at Swinley bike wash and they scuffed , me not being careful enough but just a warning .

Protection for carbon bar ends
Expensive but quality bar end protection, essential for saving the ends of carbon bars. Look pretty but will get scraped when leaning bike against walls etc.and clipping narrow cycle trail barriers. Remember to put a little grease on the screw thread to prevent future removal problems.

Solid
Fit and forget, stays put with no movement. comfortable and has no sharp edges to cause injuries in the event of a crash. Bought another set for one of my other bikes.

Tidy bar ends
A neat and permanent end to fixing bar tape in place. A tad expensive but should last forever as there is no danger of them falling out once tightened up. I am using them on 3T drop bars.

Doesn't stay in
Got these to neaten up the ends of my handle bars - they simply don't stay in. They must have been meant for a slimmer diameter tube.

Did not fit a mountain bike
Bought these as I put bar-ends on my bike, but they did not fit and I unsure which ones would. Nothing wrong with the product it self - just its buyer.

Does exactly what it's supposed to do
Having lost numerous push in plugs, and recently pivoted on a bar end (Ouch) at last fit and forget.

At last decent bar ends

The Bar end to end all Bar Ends
Ive been looking for some screw in bar ends after the usual push in ones drop out and get lost. Spent £15 on these, and I know I can move them between bikes. ft them and forget them, they look great as made by Hope.

Nice but overkill on weight
If you are continually slamming you ride on the deck then these are born survivers but otherwise the weight is excessive!

They do the job well!
I got these as I was fed up with the useless ones supplied with bar tape. They look good, they do the job well, they're expensive but I expect them to last years.

Does what is says on the tin; classy too.
Tired of having the bar-end plugs fall out - so I got these. A little pricey possibly, but I'm kind of pleased to have at least one Hope component on my bike.
They're very easy to fit and fix - you can use a hex driver, right? And the colour selection is the icing on the cake.

Pricey, but they look great and are great quality
These really look great, especially when paired up with the Head doctor headset adjuster in the same colour. Anodised finish makes the quality stand out too. Just a bit on the pricey side, but I was happy to pay it on this occasion.

Quality
If you know Hope products, you would expect it to be quality. This doesn't disappoint.
There are a few FAQs about using these with road bars. I can confirm I've used mine on DEDA 31.8mm bars. They fit perfectly, and they are firmly inserted in the bar end.
They are slightly more expensive than some others but hey - I'm worth it and so is my bike ;)

Nice bar ends
The grips stay on well and the bar ends look ok. Easy to apply.
08 April 2015
Look the business
OK so these are not cheap. However they are great quality and keep the grips on place. They also look amazing (I ordered the anodised blue). Treat yourself!

looks good nice secure fit
Does what it says on the tin but won't fall out due to the Allen key expander bolt

Excellent. Does a perfect job
Although I have perfected the art of installing tape, the folding in of the tape into the bars and jamming the plug in is very tough and the plugs provided can very easily get knocked out.
These plugs do the job fully. I do not fold the tape into the bar, I just start wrapping flush, and these fit perfectly and finish it off. You need to hold the plug and tighten the rubber bung enough to grip inside, and then also hold the alloy plug itself as you tighten finally, but they are not going to budge. And they look great. The only negative is they weigh more than the free plastic ones, but not an issue for me
