Anyone have problems running the BMX-type bar caps? The kinds with set screws instead of a big expanding plug.

Do they fall off?

thx

hope makes some bmx style ones, but the expander part is rubber not metal.

I wouldn't run metal expanders inside an alu bar, but it's only messing up the end of the bar so it shouldn't be a big deal.

I'm using the Hopes, they are kinda cool

Caps are too flexy for me.

I use the ODI lock-on bar end caps they have a screw tensioner that makes a plastic cone expand inside the bars. Pretty neat idea. I've had good luck with them so far

who doesnt use those i mean seriously. there a flawless system as long as that screw is tight. have had mine on my dh rig for 5 months now and no probs just the typical scraps and they are still looking and workin awsome so thats what i would do. and the grips are the best i have ever used.

I absolutely love my ODI's. They're a simple solution to a minor, but obnoxious, problem.

I dont. If you have a lock on grip, why would you want to use more than one tool to take them off?

I use to run metal plugs, but then I bought a new pair of handle bars, and they were too thick to run plugs. so now I run poverty night caps. They work fine, but I really do miss having plugs. The plugs just seem to work better. (although, I've had no major complaints about the night caps)

I love the simple plastic expanding plugs that come with odi lock-ons these days....

 

[wisc fr-rider]

I like both, but a few bars i have had were to small on the inside to fit metal bmx style plugs.

basically i buy what looks the coolest, lol.

Oh brother...

If Hope made a high powerd vibrator - you would probably be the first one to buy one and use it (on you).

The new Dangerboy caps "lock-on" to the ODIs. The have the a solid end cap and the inner splines to connect to the grip. This allows the use of just an inner ODI clamp and the outer DB ends. It appears to be pretty slick. I have a pair on order and I'll let you guys know what I think once I get them.

Probably, but only if it was anodized red

I use el plastique plugs from ODI. I use the flanged one on my left, and the smaller, flush one on the right(shifting side) It gives better hand position to hit the triggers without you hand hitting the plug flange.
