Hello peeps does anyone know which end bars will fit on a boardman mx sport that won't require cutting the grips back or changing them?

I stand to be corrected here, but I think just about ALL bar ends fit over the last 2 or 3 cms of the handlebar, so you have to move the gear shifters and brake levers and the handlebar grips towards the centre of the bars. It's a bit of a chore to do, but it's not actually that difficult.
I sort of can't believe that no-one makes bar ends that mount INSIDE the handlebars, so you can still use the whole width of the existing bars. But it looks as though no-one does make such a thing.
Unless any forum members know differently.......

Most bar ends can be mounted inside the shifters and brakes as see here...
Looks stupid and I don't know why one would want to do, but it is easy to do.
I used to have a pair of bar ends fitted inside the bars by an expander bolt. After a while they kept coming loose, and I found the bolt had split the end of the bar, so I wouldn't get another one like that again. Additionally, they made the riding position far too splayed sticking out beyond original width of the bar ( and flat bars always seem to come far too wide for road riding anyway). Eventually I swapped it for a butterfly bar and been extremely happy with that - much more variation in position than a flat with bar ends, not so low as a drop bar and very good shock absorption.
