Bar-End Plugs

thingiverse

Quality plugs ensure a secure grip that won't let you down and protect your bar from crash damage with ease. This innovative design boasts impressive strength, allowing you to over-tighten without compromising the plug itself – only the wedge will take the strain, unlike traditional wedge designs. Two sizes are available: a large 32mm outer diameter version for lock-on grips, which also shields the rings, and a small 28mm outer diameter option for standard grips. Your choice of plug can feature your name embossed or remain plain, in each size. You'll need a pair of M5 bolts (25mm) to complement the printed components. The wedge comes in two varieties: one with threads that must be printed vertically and another without, suitable for horizontal printing. While the threadless version offers added strength when printed horizontally, you'll need to use an M5 tap to create the necessary threads. Before inserting the plug into your bar, lightly tighten the wedge first. This ensures a snug fit between the plug and the bar, preventing the wedge from rotating in place. Finally, secure the bolt firmly without applying excessive force.
