Mr Motivator Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 File your stem smooth around the edges where the bars go through to get rid of the sharp edge which promotes premature bar snappage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joker Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 buy some easton's and when you fit them, grease the interface between the stem clamp and the bars (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun H Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 buy some easton's and when you fit them, grease the interface between the stem clamp and the bars :P ← (Y) I'm not entirely sure if you're being serious or not :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joker Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 wait for someone you trust/respect by all means, but anywhere where there is a metal on metal interface, a bit of grease is allways a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross W. Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 Looks good. what were you doing when they snapped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotchDave Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 (edited) About the bars... that's exactly where mine snapped. Get some Azonics. ← I know someone who snapped a set of azonics putting his front wheel on a bench to do a wheelswap. (Y) We looked for the smooth black part where they had been cracked, but there wasn't one. :) Then just snapped.

rich4130 Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 I must be soo weak because I got some singlewalls off ebay about 6 months ago, and today, I looked down them and pulled out some muelisi bar rapper thing, the sell by was 2002 haha, so chances are the bars are 3 years old. I love the shape, with them right forward, they bend up, love 'em, Eastons feel weird to me, they bend down :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si-man Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 Mate snapped some singlewalls, I think they were anyway, doing a wheeli/manual down the road :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Nichols Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 Just cut your bars down nice and short then there's less leverage on the bars and less chance of snappering :angry: Plus you'll be uber streety (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 (edited) Mate snapped some singlewalls, I think they were anyway, doing a wheeli/manual down the road :angry: ← eeeek! Unlucky with the bars mate. to be honest I'd recommend wating for some money and getting new ones as a ) They'll be stronger B ) They'll be a change. Surely you get bored with the same thing all the time? I changed my bars (club roost sport ones) for onza ones ( :o ) so far so good (Y) lol Edited July 15, 2005 by PaRtZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
