wow, these handle bars held up better then i expected. for being made out of hi-tensile steel they held up pretty good. after a half a year, they finaly busted. 7.75 rise with 12 degree back sweep, they were pretty comfortable. stock they were 25'' wide which is a perfect size for me.
yesterday morning when i jumped on my bike to go uptown (in the snow) the bike felt really funny. the day before i took a trip to the indoor bikepark and i chucked it a few times, not seeing anything wrong. but a quick look and i realized they had a little bend! this bend was just enough to throw my riding off, so off they came!
i have no clue how much these bars cost, but they have to be cheap, beucase there made of hi-ten steel, but there were surprisingly strong and lasted 6 months, but not nearly as long as chromoly bars well last. give it a 7/10. next up, t-1 rubens!
