Troubleshooting
Bar ends do not fit securely
Ensure your handlebar's internal diameter is compatible. If it is, check if your handlebars require a specific expansion plug or mounting system for bar ends, as these may not be included with the bar ends themselves.
Bar ends feel loose after installation
Re-tighten the securing mechanism. If the issue persists, the handlebar's internal diameter might be slightly too large, or the securing mechanism may be worn. Consider using handlebar tape to create a snugger fit or consult a bike shop.
Grip feels slippery
Ensure the bar ends are clean and dry. If the issue persists, consider wrapping the bar ends with handlebar tape for added grip, especially in wet conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The BBB BBE-17 bar ends are designed to be installed on the ends of standard bicycle handlebars. Ensure your handlebars have an internal diameter compatible with the bar ends' insertion point. Installation typically involves sliding them into the handlebar ends and securing them, often with an expanding wedge or bolt system (check if included or if your handlebars have specific mounting hardware).
Compatibility: These bar ends are compatible with most standard 22.2mm diameter handlebars commonly found on mountain bikes, hybrids, and some gravel bikes. Verify your handlebar's internal diameter before purchase.

For a deeper clean, remove the bar ends and wash them with mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly before reinstallation.
