asked and answered here. Please use the search feature before you start a new thread so the info (and there is a lot of it in the relevant thread) is not dispersed. Thank you! Northern or Southern Indiana?

I found some great replacement bar ends today for my G26er. The originals lost the end caps so I had to find round ones to fit. I also much preferred them with rubber grips instead of plain metal, which would get slippery. But the rubber grips never lasted long.

These new bar ends come already coated with thick, durable and tacky rubber for a sure grip, which also seem to be much more wear resistant.

The old bar ends with grip added. They started to rip because the square shape of the bar ends made it a super tight fit. And the round plugs at the end continually came loose, even after tightening the set screw all the way in.

Those appear to be Forté Kor Bar Ends. I really like the idea of rubber grips so I don't have to wrap them in handlebar tape. I might just go ahead and get two sets as mine take quite a beating with all the UPDs given the fact that I NEVER bother to catch my uni focusing more on not getting hurt. Bar ends can be replaced in minutes. Skin takes a little longer to grow back.
