superjay Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 ok so i have seen many handle bars snap on landing but as any ever snapped on you while do the take of? Toaday i went to pedal kick of a wall when as soon as i was about to leave the wall they snapped on me it was a very painfull fall but hell most of us here have been there. i was loving my bars (tensile 9D riser)and there was no sign they was about to go has any one else had trouble with these? and there 6months old so i didn't think they was that old. can anyone recomend some good strong bars i was thinking echo tr? but i dont want this to happen again i want to make a good choice.

isitafox Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 If you liked the feel of the Tensiles (I run the same) then get some 09 Tryall rage bars as they're the same geo just a tad wider. I used to run them on my mod so it didn't feel too weird swapping between the two different setups which it does now I've swapped to Trialtechs!

SamKidney Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Youve not been very lucky Jason! Ive heard of tensiles snapping, which is why I decided to avoid them. The Try-All rage bars I ran felt quite nice, but flexy. I then ran a set of Tartybikes own riser bar and it felt brilliant. Im on a stock now though and running some Zoo! bars and they beat everything in terms of feel in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 As if they've snapped so soon! You only got the bike late last year didn't you? Unlucky mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.KYDD Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 The tensiles were under-tested during their proto stage. In terms of construction they are just cross country bars. I've seen 3 sets snap. Get some try-all's or some trialtechs and be happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 I would recommend people with said bars should change haha. I dont like the idea of a Cross Country bar on my bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what they we're exactly, all I know is they were made by Zoo! Brilliant bars, and didn't snap lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have echo TR bars a very good choice i think! Been running them since around august. I find them light, strong and come in many pretty colours Edited April 5, 2011 by Laurence--Trials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant bars, and didn't snap lol. My old Try-Alls flexed quite a bit, which didnt inspire confidence. My Zoo! bars are stiffer, and after seeing what Neil T, Craig Lee Scott and other TGS riders have put them through, DO inspire confidence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had them for about a year or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirt jumper jake Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Tryall Rage bars or Rockman 7046 are my favourites. both really good bars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjay Posted April 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 im really not lucky my wrist is fractured :/ so i wont be riding a while. but as for bars it is a hard choice i think the viz ones are very nice so think there will be the ones for me plus im very picky they have to be white. and as for how long i had the bike got it spetember 23 last year.

isitafox Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 If you want to keep the same geo and feel of the Tensiles go for the Inspired bars as they come in white and are almost identical except 10mm wider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
