how to remove barends.

[BMX1992]

how do u take out 1 bolt barends? also are they necescery? i am going to chop my bars back 1 inch.

[premiumbmx2005]

you unscrew the bolt. if theyre plastic and theyre stuck in there...tough ****

[BMX1992]

yes they r so once i take out the bolt i take pliers and force them out? so r they just basically hammered in there and the bolt secures them?

[Chris Gabriel]

If the barened is two pieces like two triangles that go together...

...then don't pull it out if the screw isn't in because the second part won't come out and you'll have that bar end in your bars forever.
Screw the bolt in all the way and take a screwdriver and a hammer and bash it out.

they are haro barends so what should i do?

[Chris Gabriel]

Screw the bolt in and hammer them out....or try pulling and twisting with your hand first..usually works for me.

don't be a girlyman

Unsrew the bolt a 1/4 inch, and tap it back in with a hammer, that will loosen up the wedge piece on the inside, and then it should slide right out.

There we go ^

they are haro barends so what should i do?
Get Fly nylon barends which are a hell of a lot lighter(cheap too) and come out with a little tapping but yet wont come out when you fall on them.

Anyways i had those barends and they were a pain in the ass to get in and out. Plus they are bulky and gay in general.


Don't cut your bars.

Barspin tricks are gay.

Barspin tricks are gay.
then why does everyone do them?

and you don't need shorter bars to do x-ups you just need to lean back a lot farther. unless your bars are over 28"

[wethepeople]

Longer bars make x-ups easier.

Because you can't do them.
