WTD bar end plugs to go under slide on grips

[Boab]

I'm in need of a pair of those cheapo bar end plugs that you put in before putting using soft slide on grips. The kind of thing that stops you getting core sampled in a crash. I've been using some SQlab 711 grips, but I've dropped the bike a couple of times and the bars have punched through the grip, and I'm not too happy about that situation.

Just wondering if anyone has a spare pair kicking around that I could have, or know what they're actually called and where I can get a pair from...?

Bar end plugs are actually called bar end plugs! https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/search/?ter ... nd%20plugs or 10 for 3 quid for the placcy ones from AMZ.

I know I've some spares kicking about if you wanna DM me your address though.

If they're the type of grip which covers the end of the bar, you can just stick a coin in there to solve the problem.

I was on SJS earlier looking and those Brooks one's look just like what I'm after, except for the price...

I was sure I had a couple on the spares box, but I canny see any. I do have some for sticking into the ends of drop bars to keep bar tape in, but they're both too loose for the bar and too wide to go inside these grips.

I hadn't though of that, but given the state of the ends of these grips, I'm not sure a coin would stay put. If only I drank wine, I'm sure I could fashion something out of a cork. Which makes me realise where there might be a cork, or fifteen, in the house... Might have to drink some of my lambic stash.

I DM you Hyppy, if this cork idea doesn't pan out...
