I’ve never seen them for sale by themselves. I’m talking about the usually gray plastic ends for shifters on aero bars. My girlfriend dropped her bike and scratched them all up. Thought she might like new ones for Christmas. And no, that not all I’m getting her.
They’re not scratched…they’re “dimpled for increased aerodynamic efficiency.”
Or at least that’s what I told my husband after the cat sat on his aerobars and chewed on the shifter covers.
I don’t know if they sell them or not, but your LBS might have some slightly used ones that you could just swap out. I know my LBS often replaces the bar end shifters because they seem to wear out rather quickly. It’s worth a shot.
Thank! I will try the LBS. Also I’m really glad it wasn’t my fault (or that of my pet)…I’d be in deep $hit if I scratched her bike!
Madness,
Try these. They are dip coatings. Just dip the tips into the container and it gets an even coating.

I tried to get them a few years ago but couldn’t find anyone that would sell them.
My cat decided to chew mine up.
