Nice Replacement Bart ends

I wanted to replace bar ends on my wife's bike. One had been lost and the other damaged.The Kewell bar ends have expansion bolts that should prevent loss in the future.Note that there are no instructions with these bar ends. Ther is a detail you will want to be aware of when installing these.The expansion plug inside the bar end needs to be unscrewed so that the expansion plug cannot touch the bar end before inserting it into the handlebar. When inserting the bar end, insert using the screw…

Pros
  • Functionality and looks
Cons
  • It's an easy install if it doesn't break.

Garbage product! best in my review

Broke under minimal torque during install. Total garbage product. Avoid this product. This is the kind of poorly made junk ruining amazon.

Pros
  • Nice finish and function.
Cons
  • They look good. The design DOES NOT allow them to hold your wrap in place.

A bit too small for my 25.4mm OD handlebars

On two bikes so far, when the tightening bolts are at maximum, they will not stay in my 25.4mm handlebars. With grips on, they will attach to the rubber overhang of the grip, but not the handlebar itself.

Pros
  • Easy to put in, came with allen wrench
Cons
  • Multiple sets may be required for cyclists who have multiple bikes or handlebar sizes, which could make it an expensive or impractical option

Great looking bar plugs!

Great looking bar plugs for my road bike! These plugs work well at holding in the bar tape, a problem that I have had with the plugs that come with new bar tape.

Pros
  • Exactly as described and no complaints!
Cons
  • The product may not offer any significant performance or safety benefits compared to other handlebar end cap options, making it an unnecessary purchase for some riders

It Works Well - my new review

My bike fell down and the plug cracked. I put it back in, but on the next ride, it fell off somewhere. The bike and everything on it is pretty expensive, so this was disturbing. I purchased this product and installed it. It has an excellent system for fitting into the slot and tightening the grip so it is virtually impossible for it to break or fall out. The exposed part is aluminum so it is much more durable than plastic. Although this is not a big deal item, you can't ride if your bar tape is

Pros
  • Fit great quick easy installation
Cons
  • The included screws and hardware may not be durable enough and could potentially loosen or break during use

Work and look great

Snapped right in place on my original 93 Cannondale mtn bike. No issues. Much nicer looking than the silver covers from the original

Pros
  • The end plugs worked out perfectly. The were easy to install and matched up size wise.
Cons
  • Not compatible with all handlebar sizes, limiting the range of bicycles it can be used with

Upgrade your handlebar ends.

These handlebar ends meet the intended use for capping off the handlebar openings. They are designed to be pushed,(1) into each handlebar opening then secured with the allen wrench included with every order. Don't over tighten. I would use some steelwool in each handlebar opening,or sandpaper, before inserting handlebar caps. Run a clean rag through each cleaned handlebar before inserting new caps.Reason is the caps will set better in each end after tightening. :€)

Pros
  • I learned the hard way. Install the plugs first and than wrap your bars.
Cons
  • The product may not be adjustable enough to fit different handlebar shapes and sizes, which could limit its overall versatility

Cheap fix but Plated and Color won’t last.

This is a cheap fix and the colorful plating is just that. Cheap. Mine came already scratched and I imagine after a couple rides in the woods they will be silver.

Pros
  • Love these high quality
Cons
  • One of the plugs was flat. The L tool wouldn't work, or any tool.

Secure fit wish it covered more of the bar end.

Purchased these plugs because I lost one of them that came with my bar tape. I like that you can tighten these bar ends so there should be less chance of loosing them.The only con I have is that the end cap is only big enough to cover the hole and does not over lap at all. Because of this you can see the part of the tape where it starts it’s angle up the bar. See pic.

Pros
  • Fits well holds in bar wrap well!! Looks great
Cons
  • The screws and other components may rust or corrode over time, making it difficult to remove or replace the product if necessary

They do what they do - interior broke and rattles

Put them on, they do what they’re supposed to but the interior plastic broke off and now I hear it rattle as I ride. Look nice though!

Pros
  • Adds a little spark to bike.
Cons
  • The design may not be visually appealing to some cyclists, who may prefer a more streamlined or minimalist look
