Will Bar ends work with Lock-On grips?
Will Bar ends work with Lock-On grips? I have never had either item. Was looking at the Lizard skins Lock-on grips and the Singletrack Solutions bar ends.

Yes, they will work.
You just move the grip over.

Extra note: you can get shorter lock-ons made to be used with grip shifters, if you need the extra clamping space.

Bar ends will act like lock on's so you don't need the lock's anymore.

Rico, odi's need to have both clamps on them for them to work properly, not to mention it would be dangerous if running them with one clamp only on each grip. The flex from each grip will eventually cause the grip to come off of the other clamp.

Read the entire thread again and maybe, just maybe, you'll get it.
If he meant bar end caps (which still wouldn't eliminate the need for the inboard lock-on clamp) he would have/should have said so (typed so). His posts indicate that he's completely unfamiliar with lock-ons and once again just spewing nonsense based upon an amazing lack of experience).

In case your a little confused fm all the different advice.
If you have lock on grips, you have 2 type choices of bar ends :
1. Normal clamp straight to the bar - as in the picture shown in this thread - if you use these bar ends you DEFINITELY have to lock both ends of the grip to the bar & leave enough on the end to have all of the bar clamped to the bar.
2. You can also get bar ends that are designed to be compatibale with lock on grips and actually fit on the end of the grip and clamp it in place - in this instanse you lock the inside end of the grip as normal and the bar locks the outside end of the grip - I have these - they work great and save a little space.
To be honest what ever ones you get - it is obvious once you have them in your hands..

There have been many threads about the proper way to install regular, non-lock on grips, and they all involve hairspray, Windex, WD-40, air compressors, or even paint and fire. Care to share your secret?
