Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To install the ODI Aluminum End Plug, insert the plug into the open end of your handlebar. Engage the SCREW-LOCK mechanism by turning the internal screw, which expands the Triple-Core Design to firmly secure the plug within the handlebar. Ensure the plug is snug and does not wiggle before riding.
Compatibility: These end plugs are designed to fit most standard bicycle handlebars. However, always verify the internal diameter of your handlebars. They may not be compatible with handlebars that have internal cable routing or internal cross-bracing that obstructs the mounting area.
Care: Clean the end plugs with a damp cloth and mild soap as needed. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the anodized finish. Periodically check the tightness of the SCREW-LOCK mechanism, especially after significant impacts or prolonged use.
