I went to retape my damaged handlebar tape...only to discover my handlebar end cap had fallen off :p

Does anyone have one lying around that I could have? :D

Thanks!

...but I was hoping not to have to go out that way. Oh well, I think I will have to stop by while I am out running errands :p

I have one, but I'd have to ship it from Maryland, and your local bike shop has them immediately. If you want me to mail one, I will though

Thank you very much for the offer! :D I will stop by the LBS and see what they have but if I still need it, I will contact you :)

Most shops have tons of extras laying around. They may very well give you one, rather than trying to figure out what to charge ;)

My shop just gave me one. It can't hurt to ask.

In a pinch you can get by with a cork plug available at your hardware store. ;)

Just buy a new pack of handlebar tape, and it will come with 2 new caps. Use one now, and when you replace the tape reuse the cap. That is what I do when I lose one.

You're right--there are 2 enclosed in the box with my handlebar tape!

Sweet! :D I hadn't opened up the package completely because I was going to unravel the old tape first...but didn't want to wrap it with the new tape until I had a bar end cap :)

Thanks for the heads up :)
