  • Bar end caps that actually stay in?

    I’m running ESI grips and quite like them. However, the end caps are dire. The slightest knock or crash means they pop out, never to be seen again! (Running RF Atlas bars, so nothing out of the ordinary.)

    Are the Hope ones worth it? Or the KCNC ones? Or am I best with buying a job lot of black plastic ones from CRC and using these?

    Bit of insulating tape round the prongs to bulk them out a bit.

    Bar Tabs I always have a ready supply of bottle tops to keep the ends of my handlebars looking tip top.

    And they stay in well too

    ODI ones never fall out (the newer flat ones). In fact, you have to undo the lock ring to remove them.

    I’ve got the KCNC ones and they stay in. Bit pricey, but a nice finishing touch.
    I went for plain silver (alu) because they tend to get scuffed and thought an anodised colour would start to look tatty after a while.

    I fitted some Crank Bros grips and the end plugs were apalling. Now got Hope. Expensive but they don’t fall out and will last.

    Will try some of the BBB ones.

    Although I was toying with trying some Northshores or Rogues anyway.

    I’ve got BBB on my road bike (no problem with my Charge grips on the off-road bikes) they’re cheap, light, and work.
