I was checking out some plugs that you can use a wrench to expand so they stay put. I'm thinking those might be worth the extra cost.

What's wrong with the ones that come with the tape?
From the maximum I'm willing to pay for something otherwise included is the amount for these:
They come in a bunch of colors abit significantly heavier than cheapo plasticy ones but will last you a lifetime.
Those classy carbon ones might crack eventually and you'll be SOL on $50 odd dollars...

I actually bought a bike with those!^
Yes it was an older man's being a 'nago dream.
They're in a drawer in my garage somewhere right alongside a couple sets of barplug rear lights.

When the ones that come with the tape fall out and get lost, I replace them with Velox plugs.

The expander plug was nice, but a bit heavy for my taste.
I'm sticking with the plugs that came with the fi'zi:k tape.

No doubt the Schmolke are the end-all-be-all, but I wanted to have a more polished, refined look, so I went with One-10 carbon plugs, which have just a decorative carbon insert under gloss, and are otherwise plain plastic. Pricing is commensurately lower. The gloss sheen suits my bike better than the pure race matte/raw carbon look of the Schmolkes.

I have a molteni orange accent theme on my bike and I ordered the Purely Custom end caps. They are nice, but I am looking for an upgrade. Any suggestions for someone making orangish end caps?
