    Wanted: 1 handlebar end cap

    To disable ads, please log-in.

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

    Does anyone have one lying around that I could have?

    Thanks!

    I know..

    ...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

    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! 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

    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! 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
