Hi Alfredo, it's Wes Sept here, I'm having trouble learning something. This is it, what is the benefit of " female hubs"? Wouldn't they be weaker? I'm sure it's straight forward, but I don't understand it! Anyways, thank you in advance, and your knowledge is going towards a life long BMXer. As of this year I've been BMXing for 44 years, I'm Canadian, and don't let snow, and ice prevent me from riding! I've got incredible balance! Thanks Dude, Wes Sept

Alfredo Mancuso Alfredo Mancuso Alf help me out man!!! I bought the same type of husky pipe cutter, a bit smaller version though. I've went through 4 blades and I've been tightening after every 10 spins? The blades are STILL dulling incredibly quick and I haven't even cut one side of my handlebars man. I'm confused, do you have a stronger special blade? I've got the stranger brooks 4 piece bars homie, give me any suggestions. Thanks alf

@Tony Tony well, the red hot particles are there and I think a very small part of the metal actually gets annealed a little bit. That's at the very end of the bars, so not a serious concern, but it does happen in my opinion.
Every time I will buy a new bmx I always saw my handle bar. I do not want it wide. To people who criticize make the bar less wide it is up to the owners liking. Wider Handle bar, when you do a bar spin it hits your knee, stomach or hands some times. Have a less wide handle bar is better for me. No need to criticize someone it depends on what you like.
Bought the same pipe cutter took it as easy as you instructed but the wheel on the pipe cutter didnt even get through the paint before going dull. Help!
Anyone who dulled out 3 blades or more with the husky cutters, stop and get the RIDGID brand cutter ! finally cut my new shadow 4pc bars :D thanks alf !
So if I'm not wrong....after the first two spins you have to tighten the cutter a bit ......and do you have to tighten it in every two spins ?? Or you just continue spinning until it's cut all the way??
hey im new to bmx and want to start riding but idk what i need, i have a eastern trail digger. is that a good bike to start or what should i get as a good beginner bike (i have been looking at the fly bikes neutron). love the vids keep it up. thanks.
I have a question why do you cut your bars? To help with spinning bars right? Cause I'm learning barspins and my bars are not cut I also run brakes so would cutting the bars make them easier (like throwing and catching them) or does it just make it so when you throw the bars you don't hit your knees with them as they come around as often?
doesnt actually matter if your in the tucked position or proper position for throwing bars they shouldnt hit your knees unless you like on a 20.5 frame with 30 inch wide bars.
Ryan Streuli my buddy is taller then you and he ran 29 wide bars on a 20.75 frame and throws more bars then anyone i know besides steven moxley. shout out steven moxley
i did that back in the day about 10 years ago, and i didnt have a file to dull the ends, and when i was learning my bunnyhop barspins, my hand caught the bar on the end and took a good little chunk out of my hand right in the middle.
+Alfredo Mancuso lol. yea no kiddin, about a year after that is when i learned about the end caps. i always did barspins like crazy, but was scared about a bunnyhop bar. hhahaha.
alfredo im a fan of your riding career and your blog, i watch them from your first video until now, i just want to ask this i have a new Wtp handle bars 8.8" rise and 29" width any idea you can give me for better hopbar bit confused to cut it? i dont wanna cut it to short and look funny a comment will help thank you sir and keep it up more power
Just grow with my channel, do more interesting stuff, ride a ton, and film me and all of my friends. I think I also want to get into MMA and maybe start training towards a fight!
My Diamond Back 98' Venom X was full chromoly frame and bars, I never had any issues from rust after cutting my bars with a pipe cutter. Just my experience, I also live in BC, Canada where it's quite moist so I'd think rust would come pretty quick, if it was going to happen.
you mafe that seem so easy bro your a beast on the bike bro im subscribed to austin auggie im not sure if I spelled his name right if didn't my bad bro im staying in Morrisville pa, now theres a skatepark down here but I dont have a working bike :( I can even ride with my daughter or get to places from point a to point b .
would someone left foot forward be more comfortable wit a rhd bike or lhd and i so want some on some shit shit and stickers like a big ass banner n stickers once i get back to work im gna buy some stuff rite now im strug a lugg in
depends on the side you grind on, but if you keep it traditional then someone who is left foot forward spins to the right (clockwise) and grinds on the left so you would want RHD
Yah i didnt think bout that lol good thinking dude i def want to do a freecoaster i wanna see what those r about id be able to do alot more tricks but thats cheating
My bars are 31 inches wide... I don't wanna cut them to less than 30 inches or 29.5 because I like grabbing them pretty wide, but I don't know if a barspin is still possible. Has someone over here done a barspin with bars that wide? Any advice will be aprecciated.
If you use cutting wheels made for stainless steel they will not mushroom out and cut much quicker than 50-60 turns. Like 10 it so. But they must be made for stainless
My handlebars are way too wide for me, but my parents won't let me cut them because "it'll ruin the bike" how can I convince them to let me cut my bars down?
Lmao " I don't even know who's bars we just cut down" 😂😂✋
This video was supper helpful I've been wanting to cut my bars for months and now i know what to do thanks alfredo. No hate just love 👍🏼
Glad I could make this happen for you :)
dude the best video out here on youtube no one has made one yet and ive been trying to find out how thanks for the video

Thanks Aaron that really means a lot! Appreciate you reaching out and if theres every a tutorial or trick you want to see done, just holler at me!
Thank you ❤️
Just cut mine up to 27,5inches
Perfection!
Their are different sized pipe cutters does it matter which one i get or will they fit the bars no matter what
The bigger the pipe cutter, the faster you can get the job done!
Alfredo Mancuso thanks got my bars cut down to the perfect length
Alfredo Mancuso Alfredo Mancuso Alf help me out man!!! I bought the same type of husky pipe cutter, a bit smaller version though.

I know I'm late but you were holding down too hard.
7 years later and I'm still to lazy to cut down any of my bars
i just cut them of with an angle grinder
I wonder if it heats it up just enough to ruin the heat treated state of the steel.
@Tony Tony well, the red hot particles are there and I think a very small part of the metal actually gets annealed a little bit. That's at the very end of the bars, so not a serious concern, but it does happen in my opinion.

Anyone who dulled out 3 blades or more with the husky cutters, stop and get the RIDGID brand cutter ! finally cut my new shadow 4pc bars :D thanks alf !
How? I cut my bars with a 5$ pipe cutter and didn't even dull a single blade
So if I'm not wrong....after the first two spins you have to tighten the cutter a bit ......and do you have to tighten it in every two spins ?? Or you just continue spinning until it's cut all the way??
yea, basically every few spins you tighten up a tad bit
+Alfredo Mancuso thanks!!
What size pipe cutter do you use??????
Heavy duty
hey im new to bmx and want to start riding but idk what i need, i have a eastern trail digger. is that a good bike to start or what should i get as a good beginner bike (i have been looking at the fly bikes neutron). love the vids keep it up.
thanks.
Yea that's not a bad bike! Focus on riding a lot and as you out grown parts and the bike then you can start investing in it
yeah thanks for replying
much love from australia
thanks for this video because I need to learn this when I get a new BMX bike
No prob 😎+matthew ramirez
Bro that thumbnail is on point 😂😂🙌🏻🙌🏻 another great vid brotha. I'm so damn glad you started your own channel. Best ever 👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Thank you so much
Awesome vid I actually just got bars and was wandering how to do it so thanks a lot
Radness! Thanks bud!
If anyone ever tried to rob the shop tony is gonna show them what's up
haha exactly what its here for ;)
then they get shot up. end of story. sad ending
Kyle Koehler you pretty much predicted that shit man wtf
the store has been robbed

Pretty much it's so when you throw them they don't hit your knee or whatever.
doesnt actually matter if your in the tucked position or proper position for throwing bars they shouldnt hit your knees unless you like on a 20.5 frame with 30 inch wide bars.
+bmxriderforlife1234 or youre 6' 3" like me
Ryan Streuli my buddy is taller then you and he ran 29 wide bars on a 20.75 frame and throws more bars then anyone i know besides steven moxley. shout out steven moxley
If they're smaller then theres less drag, weight, and probability of smacking your knee
Can you do this even when your bars are attached to your bike?
This is definitely gonna help out in the future!
Hellya Luke :)
haha great tutorial alfredo, I used a dremel a while back for cutting mine down tho haha much quicker :)
Damn you're prepared as hell! haha
Alfredo Mancuso haha nah just got one for regular use, i use it for everything. Really comes in handy tho!
i did that back in the day about 10 years ago, and i didnt have a file to dull the ends, and when i was learning my bunnyhop barspins, my hand caught the bar on the end and took a good little chunk out of my hand right in the middle.
Yea that shit is crucial! That and barends!
+Alfredo Mancuso lol. yea no kiddin, about a year after that is when i learned about the end caps. i always did barspins like crazy, but was scared about a bunnyhop bar. hhahaha.
Hahaha lesson learned! +Jack Daniel Flores (JD)
+Alfredo Mancuso sure was, thats always when i learned not to cut off the end of my grips also. hhaha
Do a tech Tuesday about OS bars?
alfredo im a fan of your riding career and your blog, i watch them from your first video until now, i just want to ask this i have a new Wtp handle bars 8.8" rise and 29" width any idea you can give me for better hopbar bit confused to cut it? i dont wanna cut it to short and look funny a comment will help

Thank you Nick

where is the smith easy 180 on how to tuesday !!
Long ways awayb+anthony hawkins
hey will u be doing anymore give aways?
Yea in September!
What do you do to prevent the cut from start rusting? Also if the bars have chromium on, what do you do to protect the unprotected chromoly?
My Diamond Back 98' Venom X was full chromoly frame and bars, I never had any issues from rust after cutting my bars with a pipe cutter. Just my experience, I also live in BC, Canada where it's quite moist so I'd think rust would come pretty quick, if it was going to happen.
Why not use the hacksaw if you don’t have a pipe cutter?
I got new bars and I cut them with an extremely dull hacksaw. There was about 2 inches at the end of the blade that wasn't dull.
Your arm must be buff as hell now!
+Alfredo Mancuso no just sore as hell.
I have s&m bars but can’t fined bar ends that fit
John Gregg my Odi made Bar ends fit fine
Bag Secured I had new we the people bar ends they would not go in at all in my s&m bars
cuanto midio después de que hallas cortado?
una pulgada!
HAHA gracias :v
you mafe that seem so easy bro your a beast on the bike bro im subscribed to austin auggie im not sure if I spelled his name right if didn't my bad bro im staying in Morrisville pa, now theres a skatepark down here but I dont have a working bike :( I can even ride with my daughter or get to places from point a to point b .
miss spelled made lol
Thanks a lot Jose, I appreciate that! I haven't made it out to PA yet but I plan on it!
Oh yeah I cant wait man I need a bike badly I want to ride again but no money to get it I guess I wpuld have to wait and see idk
Helpful for my homie Danny🙌😄
Hellya tell that fool to watch this video, and all other 66 lol
For sure!
would someone left foot forward be more comfortable wit a rhd bike or lhd and i so want some on some shit shit and stickers like a big ass banner n stickers once i get back to work im gna buy some stuff rite now im strug a lugg in
depends on the side you grind on, but if you keep it traditional then someone who is left foot forward spins to the right (clockwise) and grinds on the left so you would want RHD
Yah i didnt think bout that lol good thinking dude i def want to do a freecoaster i wanna see what those r about id be able to do alot more tricks but thats cheating
My bars are 31 inches wide... I don't wanna cut them to less than 30 inches or 29.5 because I like grabbing them pretty wide, but I don't know if a barspin is still possible. Has someone over here done a barspin with bars that wide? Any advice will be aprecciated.
It'll be hard, like really hard but prob doable
my main concern is... well, I don't wanna smash my balls with the bar ends haha
how tall are you, or do you know your arm length, if you have long arms 31" bars would not be a good decision.
I'm 5'9", and my arms are indeed pretty freaking long :/ so yeah I think I'll just have to get used to riding shorter bars :)
you should go with 29" bars so you can do good barspins, im a little taller than you an they work perfect for me
How to cut down forks video maybe?
If you use cutting wheels made for stainless steel they will not mushroom out and cut much quicker than 50-60 turns. Like 10 it so. But they must be made for stainless
you should have a day of the week where you learn a new trick
That would be pretty cool like him or any other pro learn a new trick
That's a good idea! Mostly I learn new combos, but could be cool!
I digs
yeaaaaaaaaa
you should do it every saturday
Instead of cutting it can i have it instead so i can finish my build to jejej
clean thanks dude helps alot
do a tutorial on how to tighten the spokes
I did! Check "cats dig working on bmx"+Turtles On Bike
What if you can't get a pipe cutter
Next Thursday do a how- to on chain tensioners
OHHH great idea!
damn I would really love to spend a day with you and ride but I don't live in Cali
Thanks so much I cut my bars down without damaging the blade and my bike feels so much better 👍

Or, for someone like me who works in a CNC machine shop, use a whirl deburr tool to get rid of the burr =D
hahaha we're not all so talented or fortunate :P
just use a file, not a flat one
my bars are 26 in
You're the best

You can hear in the video that the cutting wheel has already been damaged.
My handlebars are way too wide for me, but my parents won't let me cut them because "it'll ruin the bike" how can I convince them to let me cut my bars down?
Buy your own bike next time so your strict parents can't control you
Cool
