Broken Barends In Bars?

[Joe Russell]

I bought some cheapo grips like a year ago from my local bike shop and they came with really hard plastic bar ends. After like a week the bar ends broke and when i went to the bike shop about it, a dumb ass employee pushed them into my bars. I have inward bars so i cant push them through because of the gusset in the middle.

Any tips on pulling them out?

push them in more, then forget about them.

he said e has inwards with the gusset...
i think it'll still work though

the gusset is 4 inches wide, the part of the bar ends that go into the bars is about an inch. so unless his bars are less than 8 inches wide, he should be able to push the old bar ends in and leave them there without them interfering with anything.

that or he can try using a stick or something but it's not worth the hassle.
