Those pesky missing handlebar ends...

Do your handlebar ends, you know, those knopper-stoppers that plug the end of your handlebars, go missing all the time?

I have the solution. Try wine bottle corks. Not only are they a unique solution, you can customize them with a sharpie marker with your own initials or logo. And, they absorb vibrations pretty well -- at least better than plastic.

Tap them in tightly after drinking your favorite wine. Pull them out using a deck screw.

Check out my photos attached.

Any better ideas?

I have a better solution! Put in some bar end lights. They won't fall out, they are inconspicuous and add a lil safety to your ride ;o)
