broke handlebars
 
my handle bars are bent. and now i broke the welding on them. why? is it because they are just cheap mongoose handlebars? do yous have any ideas on new ones. not to expensive but that will last.

Cheap and mongoose... must I say anything else?

Mongoose dosent mean anything. They make some very nice high end completes. Just buy some new bars. Pretty much anything out now is good, have a look on one of the online mail orders or check your shop and just pick a pair out. Make sure they are 100% chromoly, and it's also best if they are heat treated too.

Cheap mongoose = sh1t... that was the whole point.. they have to be cheap

FuzzyRyder 07-23-06 05:20 PM

Well that apply's for all companies. Anything a company makes that is cheap is going to be *****y.

Haro Slims are pretty decently cheap, but they aren't too bad.

Those are 4 piece bars. Unless you ride Flatland, 4 piece bars are gross.

Mine never bent, but then i got some S&M bars becuase they were a bit wider.

I would look at S&M and Odyssey bars, they both have good warrantys and are fairly cheap.
I have the S&M Mediums now, and the only thing i dont like about them is that they are too narrow for my likes.

why dont you get kinetic's favourite, some fly bars!

FitRider 921 07-26-06 10:13 AM

Hahahaha. Fly bars are good though. My friend got the new shadow bars and they are pretty nice... except they are pretty long.

Prozakk 07-26-06 04:17 PM

Sunday! bars have a lifetime guarantee. 3 different sizes are available, each with 3 different color options.
