Cardiff Silicone Bar End Plugs Pair

Practicality is not sexy, unless we’re talking about a Pentax Spotmatic.  There are lots of bar plugs out there, and we sell five of them.  That’s probably four too many, but people like choices, or think they do at least.  

Function wise, the best bar plug does three things.  One: the bar plug locks into your handlebar, won’t slip out.  Two: Keeps you from getting a core sample taken out if you fall on your bar’s end.  Three:  protects your top tube from getting dented IF your handlebar end lines up with the top tube. Many of our builds do just that, and the Cardiff silicone drop bar plug has the best top tube protection going.  These plugs are basically an updated Velox rubber bar plug.  

For drop bars or bars with drop bar inner dimensions, IE Nitto Albatross, Choco, Billie, Bosco, Losco bars.  Not for mountain bars!
