FAQs
Are these plugs suitable for road bikes?
These are specifically designed for BMX handlebars. While they might fit some road bike handlebars, their design and primary use case are for BMX.
How many plugs come in a pack?
The ODI BMX Push In Plugs are sold in pairs, meaning you receive two plugs per package.
What material are the plugs made from?
They are made from durable black plastic.
Do these plugs offer any grip enhancement?
No, these plugs are designed for handlebar end protection and do not provide grip enhancement.
Are these suitable for children's bikes?
These are intended for adult-sized handlebars. For children's bikes, please ensure compatibility with the specific handlebar size.
Can I paint these plugs?
While possible, painting plastic can be challenging. Ensure you use a plastic-compatible primer and paint for best results. Adhesion may vary.
What is the main benefit of using these plugs?
The main benefit is protecting the ends of your handlebars from damage, which can prevent sharp edges and cosmetic wear.
Troubleshooting
Plug is difficult to insert
Ensure the handlebar end is clean and free of obstructions. Try wiggling the plug gently as you push, or slightly widen the handlebar opening if possible. Avoid excessive force.
Plug feels loose or falls out
The handlebar inner diameter may be too large. Consider applying a small amount of strong adhesive (like super glue or epoxy) to the plug before insertion, or look for alternative handlebar end solutions.
ODI logo is fading or damaged
This is primarily cosmetic. Clean gently with a damp cloth and avoid abrasive materials. If severe, replacement may be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Installation is designed to be simple. Ensure the inside of your handlebar end is clean and free of debris. Firmly push the ODI BMX Plug into the open end of the handlebar until it sits securely. A gentle tap may be required.
Compatibility: These plugs are generally compatible with standard adult BMX handlebars. They are designed to fit securely into the internal diameter of most handlebars. If you have unusually sized or non-standard handlebars, check the internal diameter before purchase.
