FAQs
What material are the ODI End Plugs made from?
The ODI End Plugs are constructed from sturdy 6061 aluminum.
Will these fit any handlebar?
They are designed to fit most standard-sized handlebars. If you have unusually thick-walled or non-standard diameter bars, it's advisable to check compatibility.
How do I install the end plugs?
Clean the inside of your handlebar ends and firmly insert the plugs. The Triple-Core design helps secure them. A rubber mallet may be used for a snugger fit.
Are these sold individually or in pairs?
ODI Aluminum End Plugs are sold in pairs.
What colors are available?
They are available in anodized black or silver.
How do I clean the end plugs?
You can clean them with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners to preserve the anodized finish.
What is the benefit of the Triple-Core Design?
The Triple-Core Design ensures the plugs are held securely inside the handlebars, preventing them from becoming loose due to vibration or impacts.
Troubleshooting
End plugs are difficult to insert
Ensure the inside of the handlebar is clean and free of debris. If the fit is extremely tight, a light tap with a rubber mallet may be necessary. Verify handlebar compatibility if significant force is required.
End plugs feel loose after installation
Check that the Triple-Core mechanism has engaged properly. Try removing and reinserting the plug, ensuring it is seated fully. Contact ODI customer support if the issue persists.
Anodized finish is scratched or faded
Minor scratches are cosmetic and do not affect performance. Fading may occur with prolonged UV exposure. Clean gently with a soft cloth and mild soap if needed.
