I used that trick on my bmx when I was a kid. Worked fine for a while, but the aluminum wore out and the bars got loose.Ed said:Tom was telling me about a trick using the alum from a beer can. Cut a strip, wrap around bars where they clamp and lock it down. Might be worth a try. I've got plenty of cans if ya need some...
I have heard alot of these before..Dan said:put some taller bars on this weekend and they are really comfortable but they dont have any knurling where the risers clamp down on them, as such they move back and forth alittle, what can I do to remedy that?? thanks-
Nope, put an allen wrench in the end and then take it over to the grinder and grind an angle on it. Have lost a few of em, but at a few cents apiece, its not a biggy..Dan said:how do you sharpen the set screw? by hand with a file??
THANKSjustinNY said:i've never done it but i've always heard you could drill a small hole in the bars and one in the risers and use a small pin/dowel to keep them where you want them.
