DO these bar ends 'HAVE' to be mounted on the ends? I'm looking for handlebar extensions to mount on the top of my road bike handlebars so I can sit more upright. In other words, is there a cap on the side of the clamp to keep it from siding onto the...

If you can move the grips and shifters off of the bar, these would slide down anywhere on the bar. Not sure if the angles would be right. I havs seen something similar mounted on the middle of the bar. Not sure it would have the same effect.

This doesn't mount on the handle bar...it is mounted on the stem. You unscrew the hex nut, and place the mounting bracket on top of stem then put screw back in place. Super easy and VERY sturdy. Like it much more than any handle bar mount, which often gets knocked out of place and swivels when you don't want it to. Hope that helps.

mine came with a stem mount, but if your bike has a carbon fork, it is likely that the stem cap you have is actually a structural component and you can't replace it with the topeak's stem cap mount. carbon fork means needing the bar mount (which also works fine) that comes with the drybag, not the ridecase. My LBS (where I bought the case) was nice enough to just swap out the mount for me.

Take either a hammer or a rubber mallet and tap the end of your grips. The handlebar will cut the ends off your existing grips. Then slide your existing grips inward about 1 inch. Soapy water can be used to aid in getting the grips to slide over. These origin8 bar ends slide onto the bare bar and you clamp them down with an allen key. Then insert the handle bar end caps if provided. I hope this helps you out. Ps they are fantastic

If you have space on the end of your handle bar you won't need anything. If you dont have room you'll need the CRG bar end

To me this seems like something you would mount on the handle bar. Otherwise, duct tape works wonders. :)

Keep in mind that these are made for MTB handlebars, which are 22.2mm in diameter at the grip. Most road bars are 23.8mm in diameter; some are even bigger. Sheldon Brown has a good list of handlebar sizes. In order to fit these on road bars, you'd probably need ream out the clamps by .8mm (or close to it). I'm not sure whether that would affect their structural integrity. The only bar-ends I know of that are sized for road bars are the Dia Compe knob grips, model DC138 -- if you can find them. If you've got a better solution, let me know -- I'd like to do something similar.

I wouldn't recommend taking them off after you've tightened them onto your handle bars. You risk stripping the hex screws that hold them on and the diameter of the bar ends would be smaller than originally once you remove them. I would not recommend any type of bar ends on a rental bike, not to mention the ends of the handlebar grips have to be cut/removed to put these on a bike's handlebars.

The speakers mount at the bolts/clamps holding the mirrors on the handlebars. However, some I have seen were mounted using clamps purchased at the hardware store to mount them separately on the handlebars.

Water bottle cages mount to existing tapped holes in the down tube and/or the seat tube. They do not normally mount on the handle bar if that is what you meant by the term bike bar.

Hi Anna, Thank you for contacting us! In response to your inquiry, anytime you are using the handlebar *in-between* the top and bottom height settings, you must tighten the clamp in a particular manner: 1) First, unlatch the handlebar clamp 2) Next, raise to desired height 3) Tighten clamp with No. 5 Allen Key **before** closing latch 4) Finish by closing handlebar latch-- this should be somewhat difficult if the appropriate amount of handlebar tension is achieved Please let us know if you have any other questions, we are here to help-- we have a toll-free telephone number, 888-236-5657, and are open Mon-Fri from 9am to 5pm Eastern Standard Time (EST). Cheers!

The Clamplight is not a good choice for your bike - it will fall off. All you need is a light made for a bike that screws onto thehandlebars. Any bike store will carry this item or check Kmart, Home Depot, Sears etc.

Make a duck tape sleeve and attach it to your bike with a velcro strap. Depending on the bike the inside of the stem might be a good mount location.

Yes, these shifters clamp to the handlebar. They do work very well; I prefer them to indexed shifters for casual riding and reliable, easily "tuned" shifting (to eliminate noisy misalignment common to indexed shifters that aren't tuned perfectly).

Yes, the mount replaces your stem-cap on your bike. See second photo on listing. It's the best part of this product. That said, I returned it and bought a Rokform case and mount.

I have the same problem, and when I use the rubber o-rings it sits a little crooked, so I purchased the Hope Universal handlebar mount and that works a lot better. Also it sits a little higher so it clears the stem on the handlebars.

When I first got it, I assumed (wrongly) it came with all three. The one I ordered happened to come with the stem mount, which is plastic. Admittedly I overtightened it, but it broke upon install. Still not a good design I think, should be sturdier as the stem needs to be tight. I wound up returning it and getting the handlebar mount which is the one I wanted to use from the get-go. I'd go with that one.
