Bar plugs which stay in

[gdt]

Road bike. I use the cheap plastic ones, but I lose a few each year as I commute. Getting a bit sick of that. Recommendations for a bar plug which stays in are welcomed. Extra points for inbuilt reflector or other coolness.

These should work, little bit pricey http://www.wiggle.co.uk/hope-grip-doctor-bar-end-plugs/

Wrap some electrical tape around them before you jam them into the bar end to ensure its tight. If they go in tight you shouldn't ever loose one.

I have seen spreader bolt type ones similar to what you'd use on a dirt motorbike but they shouldn't be required.

These are good, and last forever. I got tired of loosing cheap plastic ends.

cheap but could take a few weeks to deliver.

I've got Shadow Conspiracy branded bar plugs on my SS, rock solid, they look really good and they weren't expensive (can't remember what i paid but got them from the LBS). Where the Hope ones use a bit of rubber that gets squeezed and expands, the shadow conspiracy ones have 3 floating rectangular bits that get pushed out by cones at each end (pictures should make that easier to understand).

+1 to the Hope ones. I have them on my road bike (silver) and had them on my last MTB (black). My new MTB has the XC/AM alloy plugs from the link below (shipped free), which are cheaper than the Hope ones and with a more secure feeling way of locking on to my mind - though, to be fair, the Hope ones have never budged in use.
