Screw clamp grips and carbon bars
/first world problem

got a solution to install straitline bar end caps (ODI style, but with a set screw instead of pinch clamp) onto a carbon handlebar without screwing the setscrew into the carbon?

/caveat - the endcaps must not fall off during schralping the roadbike.

I guess technically, you could drill a pilot hole for the set screw. Use a dogpoint screw or something like that.

dont they go on and on about not compromising the weave of the carbon?

I think odi clamps are about $10.

set screw, not pinch
so it'll leave a mark on any bar

I wouldn't recommend using those on a carbon bar. The set screw can start cracking the bar.

Overall the set screw end caps like that are a poor design. The clamp style like odi or Envy work well with carbon and any other bar.

I have ODI's Dave, but these match my stem. /first world problem

C.lee's got it right. that's them, and I'm not planning to compromise the bar. Just need a way to install them without the compromise.

I might have to do a little machining on the caps.

Doesn't someone make plug in bar extensions? How about those and have your cap fasten to the the extension.

Crazy glue?lol.

Get a new stem with your new Odi lock-ons and your problems are solved.

not so crazy Bryan, the caps could get glued to the grips.

But I like Dave's idea - drill a hold in the end of the bar cap, put a screw through and use plastic bar end plugs which expand to hold the cap onto the grips/bars

And it's a new stem.

that's a cool idea and completely different than what I was thinking!

I was thinking more like this, but your idea is likely cheaper

Race Face makes bar end reinforcement plugs.

They should stop the collapsing of the bar, but they wont stop scratching or piercing of a set screw.

Just a thought - you could put a thinstrip of metal (coke can?) under the set screw to let it clamp but not penetrate. May not be room, may not work etc...
