🔌 Origin8 Bar Plug Review

One of the ends of the steering wheel split when I tried to insert it. The rubber is very old/brittle. They do not offer returns on this item.

Unlike other end caps I've bought in the past, these tuck in and stay handy until you pull them out. Even in difficult driving conditions, with constant contact with the power of my hands, they stay in place.

Used on my kids bike after the handlebar broke the ends of the grip. Easy to install (and a good idea to remove/reinstall if you decide to change grips). So far they have held up well to any falls a daredevil 5 year old can throw.

I've been looking for a soft handlebar plug because I lean my bike against the rear window when I'm installing and removing the trunk. It was exactly what I was looking for. It's not super soft where it's going to break, but it's also not hard where I'm going to break the window. That's right.

While they do the trick (preventing the bar ends from piercing the top tube if swung too far left or right), the retaining flanges were too small for my bars and they hold up. don't stay in place. I had to wrap a few turns of vinyl tape around each of them to get the friction fit to actually have friction.

I wanted my new carbon fiber mountain bike handlebar to fit taller bar end caps (with an OD of 25.4mm). Decided to take a chance and was satisfied. At first they were too narrow to fit the plank, but I just took 120 grit sandpaper and sanded them down a bit. After about two minutes they came up perfectly. And the red color of the bar end caps goes very well with my red knobs. It's also nice that they weigh 14 grams in the kit. Very happy with it and would buy again. Five stars.

I'm sure they won't move once installed. but it's more of a rubberized hard plastic so it would be more flexible if it was real rubber. I have rubber pens that are really rubber. But like others, I have them to protect the top tube from scratches when the bars hit it and to keep the bar tape and left side mirror in place. This should work fine, but the lip is too big for most of my salsa bars and the stem is too thin to use. resorted to using black tape to hold them in place.

Seems like a lot of people are asking about size and quantity ---> see picture, maybe it answers questions. I bought these (yes there were 2 in a pack) to protect the end of the handlebars when my huskies pull me on an exercise bike/trail bike. I have to put my bike on its side on the ground to fix the tangled cables or I risk the bike falling on it. You seem to be working for what I need. Looks like they'll be out of service soon (for what I'm doing with them) - so far so good, but they've…
