Economical and functional

I read through the reviews and was a bit skeptical of some locking end plugs for 9 bucks, especially since others had mentioned that they stripped out or broke on the install. I lost an end plug on a rough trail to a tree last week and was in need of something better and quick for my full suspension, so I looked around on revain. I've done 2 rides with these and they've stayed put. You just need to make sure that they're in there tight, not forcing the included Allen wrench to over tighten…

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

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
  • They look good. Clean appearance. Simple to install, Allen tool came included for installation.
Cons
  • The caps may be difficult to install for some customers, requiring additional tools or assistance

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

Clean look, holds bar tape in well.

These things look sweet and are functional. I just installed some 3.2 mm lizard skins and the plastic end plugs it came with had a hard time handling the thick tape. This design allows you to hold the plug in position while you screw it in to secure it exactly as you want. Never messing with plastic plugs again.

Pros
  • Look good and fit tightly. Very nice product.
Cons
  • The caps may add unnecessary weight to your bike, impacting your speed and performance

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
  • I learned the hard way. Install the plugs first and than wrap your bars.
Cons
  • Some customers may prefer a different color or design for their bar end plugs, and KEYWELL only offers one option

Excellent Customer Service!

the nut embedded inside the plastic was stripped as I installed this on my bike, was not able to tighten, I solved the problem by placing a washer between the plastic and the nut and it screwed fine it holds so far after a few 30+ mile rides on rough terrain. Looks good. Update, the seller contacted me to send a replacement with new improved design for the bar ends. Also received some presta valve covers as a gift, Best customer service I’ve had on amazon. The new bar ends for perfectly and did

Pros
  • Great caps
Cons
  • The price for only two bar end plugs may not be reasonable compared to other bar end plug options on the market

Put to the test.: my feedback

I love my aerobars (Platt P Bike Carbon Fiber In TT Handlebars) and these fit well within them! I'm sure they will work for most handlebar openings since they tighten WELL by simply turning the screw. They definitely STAY PUT. I've put these to the test with many, many, many miles of flat, hilly, and sometimes bumpy roads.

Pros
  • Fit great quick easy installation
Cons
  • The product may not be durable enough to withstand harsh weather conditions or crashes

Very good plug good for me

They match the bike very well.Pretty durable. They've taken a couple good hits and still are going strong. That's my review.

Pros
  • Adds a little spark to bike.
Cons
  • The product may not be compatible with certain bike models, limiting its usefulness to a specific group of riders
