Overview

What Are Wolf Tooth Alloy Bar End Plugs Made Of?

Wolf Tooth makes the cap of its Alloy Bar End Plugs from 6061-T6 aluminum, with a black anodized 7075 aluminum bolt and a glass-filled nylon expanding wedge. The wedge gives a secure fit in mountain and road handlebars with an inner diameter from 18mm to 21.5mm. You tighten each plug with a 3mm hex key until it is snug, and Wolf Tooth warns not to overtighten it.

The anodized colors match Wolf Tooth headsets, stem caps, seatpost clamps, bolts, and more. A set of two weighs 17g, and Wolf Tooth makes them in the USA. Wolf Tooth Echo Lock-On grips come with plastic plugs, and Wolf Tooth suggests these alloy plugs as the matching upgrade.

How do I install these bar end plugs?

Push the plug into the end of the bar and tighten the bolt with a 3mm hex key until it is snug. Wolf Tooth says not to overtighten it. The 3mm hex key is not included.

Will these fit my handlebars?

Wolf Tooth lists a compatible handlebar inner diameter of 18mm to 21.5mm. Check your bar's inner diameter if you are unsure.

Do these replace the plugs that come with Wolf Tooth Echo grips?

Yes. Wolf Tooth Echo Lock-On grips include plastic bar end plugs, and Wolf Tooth names these Alloy Bar End Plugs as the matching upgrade.

Are these the same as the Wolf Tooth EnCase System?

No. These are plain bar end plugs. The EnCase System is a separate Wolf Tooth product that stores tools inside the handlebar.
