Troubleshooting
Plugs feel loose after insertion
Verify that the handlebar's inner diameter meets the minimum requirement of 17.5 mm. Ensure the plug is fully inserted and that there are no obstructions inside the handlebar.
Handlebar tape is not secure
Ensure the tape is wrapped tightly against the end plug. Consider using a small amount of grip glue or adhesive tape on the final wrap for extra security, though this is typically not required with these plugs.
Difficulty inserting the plug
Ensure the inside of the handlebar is clean and free of debris. Gentle, firm pressure should be sufficient. If resistance is high, re-check compatibility and ensure no internal handlebar components are obstructing the passage.
