Can these bars be straightened??
« on: February 07, 2012, 09:18 PM »
I have a set of mid school GT cruiser bars that are bent.

Can these be saved?  If they are straightened will it make them week in that spot?

You will need to heat em to get em straight without snapping maybe and then they are going to be weak as... Try and find another pair mate if its for a rider.

wouldn't like to think if they snapped - and you hand slips and your chin hits the sharp bear metal and slices through to the bone, just as you fall forwards and land on you wrist snapping it with white pain running through your body, and just as you tried to cross a road in front of a bus - but cos of the bar you don't make it and the bus running over your legs and people hear a scream like nothing before  ??? :shocked:

bus you coul give em a try  ;)

but i wouldn't  :shocked:

When I was 12 my bars snapped, (old viceroy) and my left hand slipped along the snapped part, little finger and next finger cut right to the bone, ran home with the ends of my fingers hanging off, luckly they saved them (still have the scars).

So on don't ride em!!!
