I think you have to ask yourself would you be happy falling on it and being sure it wouldn’t core you like an apple?

as long as the metal ends aren’t wide open so you could apple core yourself in a crash then you’re OK. using electrical/gaffer tape is a temporary fix as under pressure the metal ends can still poke through (especially if already damaged) and it’s always our recommendation you do a more secure fix either with a proper bar end plug, or (as @Jorgan suggest) some wine bottle corks which fit tightly.
best safe than sorry

Ta. Will sort something out. 
Can’t you borrow some from your road bike?
Ah, just realised, are you riding your road bike with clip ons?

If you’re stuck, DM me your address; I have some that I can send.
Rack!.. Or is it?
Cheers for the offer @The_Iain but I’ll sort something out.

Any LBS will have bar plugs.
Yeah good point.
Bar plugs, or wine?
This changes things

If you’d like corks, I’m happy to drink enough wine to provide… if you’d like me to send you some wine… eh, you might be SOL there I’m afraid.

I’m getting the excuse book out already. Pulled a rib some how which i’ve done before. Shouldn’t bother me too much, I don’t think. Got to get the seat changed on the bike tomorrow as well!

Ah that’s rubbish, fingers crossed it doesn’t give you any grief.
Forecast is looking a little soggier than i’d like. If it wasn’t for the off road sections on the run, the rain wouldn’t bother me. But i NEED that run to be quick!

Good luck folks!
I’ve got another 100 mile ride planned in for Sunday morning, looking forward to getting back and seeing what you’ve all done 
Yep, hope you all have a safe & fun event on Sunday! Enjoy the early start 
Have a great race everyone 
I’ve boshed some iburprofen just now to see if it helps then I know if it’ll help for Sunday. The deadlift weight session this morning probably wasn’t wise
Forecast wise I really would plan on running in something other than Next%, by all means bring them and asses the conditions on the day. I’m also really wanting to run quick. I’m potentially stupidly wanting/aiming for sub 1:30
For those going, I should be easy to spot. I’ll be the only bloke with braided hair
