tom jersey Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 (edited) Brand New Try-ALL Rage Bars bought from Tarty Bikes. They have been used since January and they have snapped, they wernt damaged before etc. I only weigh 8 stone and i am not a heavy rider. The clamps were done up tight, not over tightened etc. I went to side hop 6 pallets, gave it a big kick, pulled up and a huge snapping sound and i had my bars in half. Complete snap not like the were cracked first. Has any ones elses cracked or snapped as this is stupid and pretty dangerous as i did a few drops today and if they snapped then i would of been hurt. Can i get my money back etc, but its not Tartybikes product? I'll ring them tomorrow. Edited February 17, 2008 by tom jersey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 where they snapped? if they gone where your brake clamps on thats a sign of it being over tight. You should have them done up enough so that with a bit of effort you can move it that way when you fall off it moves and doesnt break instead. Also tryall products carry a 3month warrenty i believe.

Snapped on the left hand side, not near the clamps, very annoying as they were 50 quid and stupidly dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Token Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 so true. unlucky about the bars. Matx Yeah everything Koxx makes is shit, that's why Hermance, TRA and Benito, some of the best riders in the world ride for Koxx. I don't get how some of you guys make up these conclusions. I saw Tall-Rob snap his Echo bars a few weeks ago, does that mean that everything that Deng makes is shit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat Maybe because Koxx stuff doesn't hold as much on Street because it's Competition specific, hence it'll way alot less - less material. Koxx hydroxx vs Gu typhoon, 0.4kg difference. So I can't see why comp specific stuff is shit? It's light for a reason and if it's lighter you can't expect to be able to take the bashing of a heavier part.

streetjibs Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 are the tryall PUNCH bars any better? they seem to be superlight compared to other flat/bulge type bars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janson Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 i just replaced my tryall yourself bars, they're 4 years old now i think. i've snapped a frame and two sets of forks with them... not all tryall stuff is shite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Duck Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Hm thats a bit... bad. Heard about a set of these snapping a few months ago i think? I like Try-All: Cranks, bash rings, Freewheels (despite rumors of them 'blowing up' mine was ace), and rims, i would say stems, but i've never used one and some people snap them apparently.
