Bar Ends questions.

[Dave7]

On the bike I had stolen the bar ends were.............
a) coated with some sort of soft plastic/rubber which made them really comfortable.
b) fitted 'into' the bars (as against "around" the bars**).
**fitting 'into' the bars meant I didn't lose any of the grip......which I do if I use the type that clamps 'around'. Not sure how important that is as I've never tried that type.

Is it possible to get similar to what I want ??

Was a thread about these inside bar ends the other day somewhere on here , I had a pair of bullhorn bars myself on a bike instead of putting bar ends on , worth considering .

What bike was it and we're they standard? The specs would give relevant info I'd imagine

Just move the grips inward, if they are terrible mold one ones get some nee lock on grips they can be had for a few pound on ebay

A quick Google search shows many like them ranging from £8 up

That's just an example and one of the first ones I found. There are loads of cheaper ones.

The bar end type that fits into the bars withe a wedge to tighten were popular many years ago.....

However they had a habit of damaging the handle bar which is why they were phased out.

I have used these and love them.

That makes sense (re' the wedge type)

How do those bare ends fit ??

Within the bar is a small metal "ring" that fits over the bar and then tightens with an allen key

This is the Cane Creek version that shows what I mean

I use them on conjunction with the Ergon grips
