BMX Bar Ends
Purpose of BMX Bar Ends
BMX bar ends for freestyle biking serve to shield the end of your handlebars from becoming scuffed or forming sharp edges that could cause injury. Ensuring the ends are well covered can also help prevent harm if you fall awkwardly on the handlebars. An additional appealing aspect of this cost-effective BMX accessory is that it provides a polished finish to your freestyle bike.
Installing BMX Bar Ends
For typical plastic bar ends, the process is as straightforward as pushing them straight on or twisting them onto the handlebar ends. The bar end's head should rest against the metal of the handlebar. Alternatively, other BMX bar end plugs may be crafted from steel or aluminium, and they often include a bolt through the centre that is secured with an Allen key, fastening a mechanism against the inner wall of the bar tubing. Metal variants tend to be pricier than plastic ones, and they generally boast greater longevity due to their robust nature.
BMX bar ends represent a minor but crucial component of your set-up. It is vital to ensure they remain in top condition and to replace them as they eventually wear out. While attending to this, BMX grips offer another excellent way to refresh your bike. Have a look at our BMX Grips collection.
