The Pro handle bar plugs are very light and streamlined. They tighten in place with a small Allen wrench. Very easy to use.
When traveling alone with my road bikes, I slide the whole bike into the back of a SUV or behind the seats of an extended cab pick-up truck. I can't count how may bar plugs have been scraped loose or out of the handlebars, only to be lost on the ride. These secure PRO bar plugs have ended this cycle of frustration and waste. Highly recommended accessory for any cyclist, especially those not using a bike rack for travel.
Great product. They Stay in your bar ends! Unlike the rest of them.
Well made, look great and much better than the cheap non-adjustable plastic plugs that came with the bar tape.
These work perfectly. I never even think about the bar end plugs anymore. They won't fall out so I'm able to enjoy and forget about them.
A nice piece of functional bling. They fit well and they look much better than the plastic plugs that come with the tape. And I have PRO headset, so they match the headset top cap.
Kinda pricey for bar end plugs, but they are aluminum alloy. Probably will last forever (or until you get tired of looking at them). Easy to install. I got black (with white graphics), match my handlebar tape and saddle. Only beef is I wish they had more color options. Installing end plugs was always a PIA for me. This solves the problem. They look great, add a custom touch to your rig.....
Contemplated for years about getting bar plugs. I installed new bars and I had to wrap about ten layers of electric tape around each plastic bar plug in order to get them to stay put (I don't like the other method, and it does not work with all bar tape). Bought some of these, would have prefered black, but blue matched my bike. I had to turn the screw about twenty times or so before they locked in place (and I have Pro PLt bars). I would imagined if you over turned it, they would break. They look nice. Can't imagine them breaking or wearing out unless you crashed your bike. A touch of something different. I like them.
For some reason my current road bike handlebar wants to shed every plug I installed. I must have gone through 6 or more. I had an irrational fear that one day my bars would deflect fully and gouge a core sample out of my thigh, so I decided to upgrade to these screw-in plugs. Easy install and they look good. Seem nice and secure. Problem solved.
A few years ago I had a bike build done and these bar plugs were used instead of the plastic ones that came with the bar tape. Best thing the mechanic could have done. Once I realized these will never fall out on their own I bought a set for the CX bike. No more lost bar plugs. Money well spent.
I got tired of losing regular bar plugs so i tried these out. I'm very happy with them, lightweight, secure, and easy to install.
Have the red and black, looking for silver.
I use these in all my Road bikes, they look great, are easy to install, and stay in place. What more could you ask for. I just wish they came in Yellow and White as well........................
Dumb lizard skin plugs always fall out. I got sick of it and picked these up. Problem solved. Plus they definitely look more pro (see what I did there)
Cyclecross is just hard on bar plugs, my plugs always comes off and the tape unravels and you end up during the race just focusing on the darn tape. So far it has survived 5 crashes in 4 races. Well worth it!
PRODUCT IS WELL MADE AND FITS SNUG TO THE HANDLEBAR. AFTER USING LIZARD SKIN END CAPS WHICH FELL OUT EVERY TIME I BUMPED THE BAR AGAINST THE WALL I NEED SOMETHING SECURE. THIS WORKS! WITH THE ALLEN KEY EXPANDER THIS IS A BULLET PROOF DESIGN THAT WILL KEEP THE PLUG SNUG.
These are my favorite bat plugs. Never fall out and very lite. Plus, they come in a great selection of colors.
I lose a lot of bar end plugs for some reason. I am always catching them on things. Not these. They stay put. I could live without the graphics but they match my Pro bar so no big deal.
Very clean product
I just like the look and easy to install
