Bending handlebars to new shape
"Peter S" wrote
Since I'm in the throws of putting my first fixed wheel bike together I've been browsing pictures of fixed wheel builds online, mostly he http://www.fixedgeargallery.com/ It looks like some owners have bent bars themselves from cut down drop bars. Has anyone tried this? Can I get an old handlebar and rebend it myself without damaging it so long as the tube retains it's round shape and doesn't get kinked? Which ones are custom bent? I don't think many people would try it given the risk of snapping or at least reducing the strength of the bar. Are you sure it's not just cut down drop bars or "H" bars or bullhorns? Then again.. given fix riders.. I'm sure they'll try anything! :-) hippy |
