Abstract
End caps are retained by handlebar grip clamps. The grip clamps include recesses to attach to protrusions on an outside end of handlebar grips, interior circumferential portions which clamp against the handlebar, and outward facing mouths with inside grooves. The grip clamps may be loosely attached to the handle grips allowing insertable portions of the end caps to be inserted into the mouths. The insertable portions include tapered portions to facilitate insertion into the mouths of the loosely tightened clamps, and raised captured portions and recessed portions for retention of the end caps by the inside grooves of the mouths. The grip clamps may then be tightened onto the handlebars and thereby both lock the handlebar grips onto the handlebars and retain the end caps. Damaged end caps may later be replaced by loosening the clamps without requiring removal of the clamps or the grips for easy repair.
