Merritt – Insert Bar End Quick Test
Well, that’s one way to test some Bar Ends. The guys over at Merritt giving their Insert bar ends, which feature a metal washer, a test compared to a regular nylon bar end to see what kind of abuse it can withstand. After watching Mike Brennan slam on the bar ends with a hammer, it’s safe to say these things were built to take the abuse that BMX can throw at it.
“Today we filmed a quick little video at the warehouse to show you how our insert bar ends hold up way better than your average pair of push in bar ends. The Bar ends are Nylon with a molded in steel washer that prevents handlebars from cutting through the bar end.”
