Can I put bar end shifters in them? Or is the end of the tube sealed?

The ends are open. I haven't measured to confirm the size for shifters though

the ends are open, but you would be hard pressed to reach the shifters if you mounted them on the ends. I just left my Shimano Revo shifters mounted on the straight bar and moved them a little closer to center. I bought some old school dual action brake levers (like you'd find on the old 10-speed bikes from the 70's) and mounted them just inside the drop bars. This set-up worked great since I could brake while in the "crouch".

No you can't use them they are wider and will not fit, I will recommend this tubes [Avenir Regular Schrader Valve MTB Tube (26 x 1.50-1.75)] or any other brand of your preference in this size.

Like the other people who answered, i have the exact same bottle cage and the bar extender and there is no way. that picture should be removed for being totally misleading. i would still get the bar extender, its a great piece of equipment, I have 4 and plan to get more, they are really handy and allow for a lot of cool mods to my bike.

No but unless you have a lot of miles on your bike the ones that are currently in it should be fine, but I would suggest inspecting them when you remove the stock pipes for damage.

My kit does not include shifter and shifter cable. I purchased those two items separately.

I don't think so but youtube how to convert down tube shifter to handle bar shifter.

There are several really good videos on how to install these, plus there are good written instructions in the package. First the "expander" pods go into the end of the handlebar WITHOUT LUBRICANT, separately from the levers. Use a hex wrench to tighten by turning COUNTER-clockwise to tighten. Then attach the levers. Then insert the cable housings into the levers (very easy). Then insert the cables into the housings after putting lever into a certain position (instructions included) to expose the cable hole. No lubricants are necessary but I always rub white teflon grease onto all of my cables before insertion, sparingly - probably not necessary but I do it to prevent rust. Use electrical tape to hold the cable housings in position before wrapping the handlebar tape. Check out the u-tube videos after Googling bar-end shifters.

I think the cables are intended for the "pro" quicker shifting traditional bar-end cabling. That means the cable does not run under the tape to the flats. It is intended to come straight of the shifter only after a couple of wraps of tape. You can look up pictures if you need help. This means if you run it under the tape on a big bar or big bike, you may come up short. I did on my 59cm with 44cm bars. Hey, its Dura Ace so you can't complain.

They are plastic inserts at the end of the tube.. its a great buy, easy to install as well.Good Luck.

It's a mountain bike der, so it assumes that you have a mountain bike shifter. They tend to have their adjusters built in. If it doesn't, you can install and in-line barrel adjuster in the cable.

too many variables. What kind of handlebars? Where are the shifters located? Where are the brake levers? I used them on an older (late 90's vintage Trek 850 hybrid) and on a kids Trek mountain bike.

You can not. It replaces them with the bracket for the bull bar. That's the only negative thing about it. Wouldn't want to try and pull on the bull bar either because the metal isn't all that thick. I've had mine for almost two years now though, and it has done everything I've wanted it to.

It's been some time since I replaced the shifters, but I believe you will use the bike's old cable housings and just thread the new cables through them. The cables come installed in the shifter mechanism and are plenty long so you will need to trim them once they are installed and secured in the derailleurs. It's a pretty easy installation unless the cable housing is corroded or damaged. Good luck.

I suppose you could use bar end shifters on these handlebars. I use thumb shifters from a trail bike. There is enough room on handlebar ends for the shifters and the brakes.Cliff Joens

What is the bar ID? Is it compatible with the size of the levers? Like someone else had previously responded, you tighten the levers by removing the rubber cap and using an allen key. If you have tightened this all the way already, then your bars are simply too big for these. If you tighten them and the fit is close but still slightly loose, you could probably rig something since the mechanism is simply an expander shiv; maybe you could wrap something around that to give you a little extra leverage.

I have put my own grips on the SRAM twist shifters - just cut them to size and fit them snuggly on. Of course, I use bar end bars, which keeps the grips firmly pushed up against the shifters.

Yes. That's what I used it for. I ordered brake/shifter combo units to replace my twist shifters, not expecting them to come with cables. They came with their own cables. So I used this set to replace all the other cable sections on the bikes
