07 eastern bars = crap

[PAGEY#404]

Gday everyone, is there anyone else out there that are having problems with there bars on any 07 easterns??? one of my mates has a 07 element and his bars snapped the other day. Ive had my eastern sequence for about 3-4 weeks now and ive bent them and i bent them back into place, and i went riding the other day and they bent again and there is a massive crack in them. and also could you tell me what is some good bars that are pritty strong and how much they are??? thank you

dude how wide do u want ur bars to be? The shadow conspiracy 13b bars are sick, 27.5 wide n light as ($125).

[PAGEY#404]

hmm 27.5, thats pritty long, my old bars were 23" long and thats as long as i wont them. im thinking about odyssey civilian but i dont know how much they are, does anyone know ???

[i like dirt]

I rode my mates bmx today and he had the civilian bars they were a nice width. dunno bout price sorry

[PAGEY#404]

yeah thats why i like the civilians there a nice feel, and another thing, im after bars that dont have alot of backsweep, ive been told about the fitbikeco. fited 4Q bars and United squad bars. im liking the united ones because there 7" rise/ 24.5 width/ 10* backsweep/ 1.5 upsweep. but im still open to ideas.

no wonder your bars cracked, you cant simply "re-bend" bars without the strength severely decreasing, the 07 bars are the same as the 06 bars and myne didnt crack or bend and i had them for about half a year, same as my friend who has had his 07 bout the same time, some bars that wont let you down are the S&M SLAM bars, very big (if your into that sorta thing) very stong me and my mates all have slams and we stack a fair bit and nothing has gone wrong

[juzzo]

S n M, either slam bars n cut them down heaps or the berringer bars both are sick bars and around 120-130

Colony Unlucky 13. i run them. awesome. not much backsweep, 25" wide, lifetime warrentied.

You have got to be kidding me slams bend all the time.

You have got to be kidding me slams bend all the time.

well i kid you not, ive had my slams for quite a while and i dirt jump, and anyone who dirt jumps know that you will end up staking harder when you do, ive had alot of BIG stacks and myne are fine, same as my friends

[PAGEY#404]

yeah i dont mind slams, as in rise and sweep but there just to wide for me. if anyone out there has any comments about some good bars i could buy that dont have alot of backsweep, it would help me alot, because i still havn't made up my mind:rolleyes: cheers

Mate got a 07 element. 2nd run out out local djs bent the hell out of them. Took them back and got ultra lights for free!

[bmx>mtb]

macneil 9-butted light bars are pretty nice im getting a pair soon, the tall ones:D

[tj]

Slams bend all the time. And yes I've had my slams for over a year and i'm pretty sure they are close to bending.

[bowzaa]

Civillians retail for $140
Colony unlucky 13's are real good to, think about sunday, macneil, mutiny etc.
Cant really go too wrong just get something in a size you want from a quality brand.

[bmx]

macneil are good, but they do have alot of backsweep.

colony dont really. small/medium size bars that are light and fucking awesome

[DKryder004]

ive seen 2 people with the same eastern elements and both there bars bent!!, they both hav new bars now too. But in my opinion they,re crap!

[triangular.square]

i have an 07 eastern element and i've stacked tuns and have landed on my bars a few and they've been fine.
