  • Publication number: 20120234130
    Abstract: A handlebar grip includes an outer tube, an inner tube extending inside the outer tube, and an annular space defined between the inner and outer tubes for receiving therein a bicycle handlebar. The inner tube has guide slots and an inner guide surface having a gradually decreased diameter. Through a threadedly connecting structure a wedge-shaped member is threaded with a bolt extending into the outer tube in a way that ribs of the wedge-shaped member are inserted in the guide slots of the inner tube respectively. When the bolt is gradually tightened up to drive the wedge-shaped member to move into the inner tube, a circumferential surface of the wedge-shaped member, which is configured to be matched with the inner guide surface of the inner tube, will squeeze the inner tube to expand outwardly so as to clamp the bicycle handlebar between the inner and outer tubes.
