Hardest of Core Bar Ends.

i suppose one could construe that statement to imply a fight, but, in this case, its in reference to We The People bar end / plugs. tightenable with an alan key, and featuring not one but two symetrically moving griped quills, these babies look tough.

Interesting Solution: Bar Grips

in the bicycle industry, their are two general categories / methods of softening up ones handle bars;

1) by sliding on a bmx / mountain bike style grip (a rubber tube), or
2) by wraping the bar in bar tape, a foam / rubber self-adhearing job.

BIZHOUSE has established a third and (as of yet) relatively unknown solution - The Gym Grips - but potentially so interesting!



the solutions involves 44 (22 per grip) rubber rings that you roll on individually, negating the resistance experienced when putting on a traditional grip. i have no idea how well they stay put, but they are pretty interesting, conceptually speaking.
