When the kneesavers came out, our minds were blown. I had a set. Then I built a Master 5 years ago, and had to put kneesavers on it. They look amazing.
I've got a blue tooth jam speaker clamped perfectly with 3 ties to the top cross bar, radical cool and FUKIN' spot on. Not interested in doing, 'tricks' just enjoy music on the go. And I've got 3 mountain bikes all with BMX bars....comfort✌️
Great video with good explanation 👍 I like the looks of the 4pc bars so i'm going to change my 2pc to 4pc on my BMX bike from 2005 that i'm about to fix this spring so i can use it again this summer. I've had this BMX bike since it was new in 2005 so i'm really looking forward to use it again and maybe learn to do some trics on it
I've been riding my FITBIKECO series one 21 tt Transgold 2019 i think. Trimmed the bars ( Thanks to ALF) and grease the bottom bracket a few times now. 6ft 220 pounds Jumping 6ft Gaps. NOT a problem. Best Bike i have ever Owned. NOw i want that Complete SLEEPER :) DROOL :P hahahha Great Video Alf Thank you. You Rock
Ethan needs his own channel! phu needs his own channel! max needs his own channel! you guys are all star’s !!!!! Keep the content coming al pray 🙏 for phu
I use bmx bars on my mtn bike. I have extreme short arms. I was curious about either a 4 or 5 piece bar so i can have the 8"-9" bar rise but have a narrow cross bar so my brake levers have more space so I can 1 finger brake instead of having to use 3 fingers to brake.
5:00 we used to call those knee saver bars "Flatland" or "Flatlander" bars. You'd see all of the guys doing flatland in the 90's using bars like this. GT used to put these on a lot of their BMX bikes back in the day.
4pc bars are a bit less resistant than 2pc, If you think of it, the points of soldering are more, that means the bar would be more fragile where that especific point is because of the heat applied.
(01:42) I agree. It's literally scary to me because I've snapped four piece bars before and I FEEL like no matter what the quality of the steel/iron is it will still snap at the bottom. But I could be wrong - please correct me if I'm wrong..
I have a question so I have a GT pro series 29 I have stock handlebars right now which are GT Pro Series Cheat Code 2pc, 100% Cr-Mo, 7.875"H x 31.5"W, 5°Up, 11° Back I want some thing a little taller do you have recommendations
i'm looking for the T1 barcode bars. large. they made another run around like 2010 or something but the ones from like 2002 were the best. i've got mine but they're a little bent, would really like a new pair.
Bars with a front load stem vs taller bars with a top load stem with more rise will fell the same? Would that make sense to save weight? I’m assuming top load and front load stems weight about the same, while taller bars weight more than shorter bars…
Of course I mean taller bars with front load stem vs shorter bars with top load stem, for some reason TH-cam doesn’t let me edit my comments on safari on iPad, maybe it’s my ad blocker or popup blocker..
Can you make a vid with phu on how to find the geometry stats of parts you dont know the brand or anything about the part trynna run the same geometry n im not trynna buy sum n not fuk wit it im also a 4 piece kind of guy so yea help porfavor
S&M bars are the only one's I use and I buy them for the wall, my kind of skakeboard wall candy, but BARS of all kinds 😋😋😋😋😋 Where's your shop? Thx and AWESOME job on the video 💯%
About time Ethan was in a video..good video bro! his like the west coast Panza! Can you ask him why he decided to go without a wishbone rear end on his frame? And can you also tell us why some aftermarket frames like the older Sundays used to basically pump out their completes without a wishbone rear and why their aftermarket frames had one?
Here in my country i see a bar cost bout $13 = ₱650 but i still can't afford it... It is a 10rise bars im a 5'8 tall my stem is a front load, is it a good setup?
One spec not really mentioned anymore for bars is Crossbar width...meaning from one side of the crossbar to the other side. The closer you ride with your hands on the bends...the more it's noticeable. I don't like anything over 11', but nowadays a lot of bars have a wider bend radius meaning the box (middle) will be larger. So if you're like me and ride on the bends and the bars feel off like they still feel a bit too large, it's prob gonna be the crossbar width is too much. A lot of riders ride with their hands more out from the bends, so they really won't feel it. Also, sorry but Ethan was incorrect in that those Mission parts aren't because they are 4130 tubing, BUT aren't heat-treated at all.
@@SFletcherson i know it doesn't. i'm just saying what i've seen. maybe there's some popular 4pc bars that are built for that geometry and that why a lot of them run them, not just bc theyre 4pc.
Yo Ethan was on point. Could you get Denim to do a video? Wait I think he has a channel... keep all these fools in the make P.S. get well soon Vooster!
I only ride S&M 9” FU BARS! I can’t stand two piece. The style part is lame. I’m a San Diego native bruh and rode GT Knee Saver 4 piece bars in the 90’s because I hit my knees on two piece. Four piece are more comfortable to me. You can’t talk shit about S&M especially since they own FIT. Their parts are pretty similar to S&M but they’re not the exact same quality. I want that US made shit. Ride what you like that’s my advice. I have dope bikes I built and buy limited edition shit along with another person I know.

I have always loved the Kneesaver bars, those are my go to. Definitely an oldschool look
ethan was on point, without all the hecticness from phu lol

Thanks for this vlog Alf it's really good for us to know more about the parts of a bmx specially for a newbie like me.
ethan did a great job actually lol

What about bar height, and width related to rider size/style?
Great video with good explanation 👍 I like the looks of the 4pc bars so i'm going to change my 2pc to 4pc on my BMX bike from 2005 that i'm about to fix this spring so i can use it again this summer.

These videos really rolling out
Trying to streamline them haha
Great job filling in mate!! Who makes those cruiser bars? The ones you called funky.

Why the different height of bars and how will help with certain tricks or dirt jumping?
Thx

Who remembers Elf blast bars 6pcs
Yup Elf blast bars and 2pc bars which I run on my bikes.
My Sleeper Sig frame is coming in tomorrow. Got to represent
I had eight piece bars in 1998, they were full chro-mo, and a bit oversized I think.
4pc bars are a bit less resistant than 2pc, If you think of it, the points of soldering are more, that means the bar would be more fragile where that especific point is because of the heat applied.
BMX parts have cool & great looks! What is the highest height of BMX handlebars? Which grips are best?
(01:42) I agree. It's literally scary to me because I've snapped four piece bars before and I FEEL like no matter what the quality of the steel/iron is it will still snap at the bottom. But I could be wrong - please correct me if I'm wrong..
Hi, I ride a WaltX Dune 1 fat tyre bike. Which BMX handlebar should I choose. Kindly suggest.
It’s all about the Haro Knee saver bars, listen to RL Osborn he’ll steer you right. P.S. get well PHU.😎
Yes, I have the chrome ones, they were $129 but so worth it.
😅😅
Just got my sleeper bars in black from epic store cheers man they are cool 😎
🔥💜
I have a question so I have a GT pro series 29 I have stock handlebars right now which are
GT Pro Series Cheat Code 2pc, 100% Cr-Mo, 7.875"H x 31.5"W, 5°Up, 11° Back
I want some thing a little taller do you have recommendations
Ethan is Awesome!!
I like Ethan (and Phoe equally) too. 🙂
i'm looking for the T1 barcode bars. large. they made another run around like 2010 or something but the ones from like 2002 were the best. i've got mine but they're a little bent, would really like a new pair.

CW is my fav, but I’m old as dirt lol cool vid 👊🏼
I had a pair of 3 piece bars in the 90's they came on a 20" giant. they cracked in 3 places on the 4 piece looking side
Hi, by any chance do you have any Bama handlebars available at your shop or do you know where can I look for them?
Ayeee the griminals shirt

If you ride a 4 piece do you have to know how to play with a Kendama?
Very helpful Video

I first like the video. Then i watch
Denimcox is the best man 😊

i could be wrong but i see more 4 piece riders who use that kind of grip
@@Fausto_4841 that does not matter.

Dope vid hope phu didn't come down with the vid. Prayers sent. Is that a lip/spoiler on the counter top 🤔 😳
I have the perfect 10’s. Love ‘em!
Sleeper bars are the perfect handle bars
They do feel pretty great
Still have my 90s Hoffman love handlebars somewhere and I think there 8 piece, and those 3 piece handlebars I think we're made by giant bikes
Would you be willing to selling them for my Hoffman Taj build?
@@doodooheadfart not for sale, actually going to do a condor build and need them for that build
I love 8 piece bars.
YO DIS ETHAN
It really is!
Bro where is the next vid 😩. Hope all is well
lower crossbar *should* give more flex also
Ethan has a very cool shirt on.
🤪
Kneesavers all day!!
I have always loved 4 piece and knee saver, but I’m in the eastern time zone area 😀. At the end of the day, run what works for you.
The crankflip God himself
2 piece :)
Yo Ethan was on point. Could you get Denim to do a video? Wait I think he has a channel... keep all these fools in the make
P.S. get well soon Vooster!
Yeah definitely denimcox is the best
Nice request denim n Ethan n Alf r the men we wana see phu dope too
If he would just make a damn 11 inch sleeper bar I'd agree there the best but I gotta ride s&m for now.
Elf 6pc bar
I thought there was only one kind of bars for real BMX and they are called V.bars. did you ever see stu, ride anything else?
Perhaps glass is not the best countertop material in there!
(01:27) me too. 🙂
4pc is a lot stiffer
f animal for not selling the presidential bars anymore.

Ethan is a HUNK 😂😂
Kneesavers
I dropped sweet chilli sauce from my nuggets on my Kilt, from falling asleep watching this nonsense
Why couldn’t it have dropped in your eyes and spared you 😂
@@AlfredoMancuso that could only happen if I was eating upside down, or working for NASA at there Zero Gravity Research Facility in my Lunch break
I hate 2 piece bars. They all look the same.
What the fudge.. there's some weird ass bars out there.. I saw stuff way worse than three piece bars, trust me.. don't Google it. (It's horrible! 😵)
Boring
Il watch anything
hell yea
I think those last ones are called low rise bars and are used allot in fsfg and those big ass wheelie bikes.
