Isn't there anything prefab I can just hammer in?  8)

If your going as far as hamemring somethign in why not just butt weld an inch of steel tube to the ends? grind it back flat and once the grips are on youll never tell

BrianP:
Yep, welding on some old tubing works well - have done that a few times. (Old seatpost works good as it's 7/8" like the bars).

You could also try these, although it's looking like 1/2 inch each side...

if you just want a quick fix and as strong as welding but ten times easier and if you not too fussed,go to wickes or b and q,they do round wood poles for wood work and it weights nothing,then get your bits of bar or whatever that you want to add on and just hammer the wood in and add your bit,i put a little grip fill on the pole too just to help hold it,then put grips on and your away,no one would ever know,and it works great i have a pair of tnt bars i did it too a year ago and still perfect :daumenhoch:
