Post by tadiv »

My handlebars are tweaked, what do you recommend as a cost conscious replacement?

Pro Taper CR High Bends

Spend the jack....after all, this IS where you hang on from. If you ever had a bar break on ya when riding, you'll be grateful for the extra piece of mind

And you don't ever want a bar to break on you, either.

Not a pleasant experience, so stay away from the "Cheep" shit. Or used ones on eBay.

You know, I have noticed a theme in life. Not always, but most of the time when you lay out the cash you end up with something you really like. That does not happen much when you try to cheap it out. Not always, but close.

Just due it once get the Pro Tapers or even some Renthals. Because if you bend the steel set them you have to buy another set. 3 sets of steels and you are at the same cost as a set of Pro Tapers.
