Abstract

A bicycle handlebar bar end for attachment to a handlebar on a bicycle includes a continuous wall section which extends continuously and completely around the handlebar from one side to the other of a tubular body member of the bar end without any gaps or spaces therebetween. A slot in the center of the tubular body member of the bar end provides a means for reducing the diameter of the central opening formed by the continuous wall section for attaching and tightening the bar end onto the end of the handlebar.
