I will have to assume he was either a massive dodo or a little to altered in mind or a combo of both.
Not my friend but the roommates but know I know there are people who can screw that up |

how do you plug the ends or use reverse levers if the bars were grooved for cables? doesn't the inner diameter and curvature change enough to cause problems with the plugs?
or am I missing something? -hey why not just chop it to an 8 inch flat bar to be extra cool. |

Anyway, everyone know they're called flop n chop because you're supposed to do it with an axe.

I've cut bars with both a hack saw and a pipe cutter, but my preferred method is to just spend $20 on a new set of bars.

If this guy wants to chop drops then he is probably a poor college kid looking for an easy/cheap way to get the "look" He should just use a crappy hacksaw with an old blade, preferably in his dominant hand so he can drink a PBR out of his other hand at the same time. |

Not true, I've used them on all types of bars, the small ones dont have a large enough footprint to be effected by the bars curvature. USE A PIPE CUTTER!
Hacksaw= Uneven cut and time consuming + needs to be sanded or filed afterwards Bandsaw= Hard to get the right angle on a curved bar, also they are expensive or hard to get ahold of if you dont already have one. Throw a wrap of tape around the bar to act as a guide. 5 minutes tops, another minute to run a file around the edige. |
chopped horns < real horns

I can get through a handlebar, both sides, with a pipe cutter in less than 1 minute, and there is no cleanup after. I dont need any clamp or any other tools except a sharpie to mark my cuts. There is no way you are chopping a bar with a hacksaw and cleaning the edges in less than 15 minutes.
BTW, you are not supposed to "push" any saw through any medium, what shop class did you attend. Japanese saws are pull saws, European based saws are almost always push saws. Get a pipe cutter. |

I offer the simplest solution of all.
buy cheap bull horn bars from 8inch, rather than chop drop bars. :innocent: @to whom it may concern I ended up doing it with a hacksaw. took me like 30 minutes total including re-wrapping the bars. did a fine job. cons: getting metal shavings in your mouth |

i accidentally breathed them in.
and also not only did i drink a pbr while i did it, i did it in my white v neck/flannel combo right after grooming my mustache and cutting holes in my scenester girls jeans. i was just mostly bummed that i got my vegan toms dirty. |
oh, yeah, where a protective mask when working with aluminum dust.
it's not healthy to inhale that. |
I think your advice came just a bit late for this fellow. But then again, he was probably already half brain-dead from the pbr.
|
wooo pbr. and yes i definitely should have had a mask on, but i don't think i actually inhaled any, just got it in my mouth while breathing in.... you notice aluminum dust entering your mouth real quick. luckily that pbr was there to wash out my mouth. wooo pbr.
