Luke Drewery Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Erm, whats a bar brace? Do you mean a frame protector like the armourdillo or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Motivator Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 You could argue that it's just unneeded weight and looks silly. Just don't fall off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spangler Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Scratching doesn't bother me. If it looks really bad just close your eyes and you wont see the scratches >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 If your scared of scratching your bars, i would highly advise against riding trials. >_< Don't bother, i've scratched my bars once, and that was a trailer on the way home.

munkee Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 put my first dent in my toxsins' downtube today... doesnt bother me one bit though.. since it was bound to happen riding trials. Atleast its something to talk about if your being bored to tears by someone on a group ride and you want to change the subject Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 (edited) famous last words :) ← Me: You know nothings broken or gone wrong with my bike for ages. *10 mins later* Crank snaps. :) Edited September 2, 2005 by JT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 Matt Hudson was riding with me a while back, and he did some move at our school. Anyway, it was a touch on the "harsh" side of "Brutally savage", and we all thought he'd have had a pinch. He went "f**king hell, got away with that!" or something along those lines, then we just heard "FSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS". Some weird delayed pinch. Tres funny :) Anyway, not since the days of DH and single wall risers have I used bar braces... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tres funny :) ← Mine did that. I think what happens is (escpecialy if you have rimtape) is the air leaks out into the somewhat sealed area of the tyre. When i got a pinch i hopped up a few steps and rode about 200 meters befor it went phsssss and went flat instantly. :) Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
