i enjoy 1 pieces, but buffs are interchangeable ( for some reason that word came to my head hah) just ride someone you knows 1 pieces or buffs then decide

i have wees they are really strong and a little on the heavier side but u get used to them after 1 sesh and my friend has buffs and they are really durable and light and the best thing about buffs is that they are interchangable

You could just bolt your t-tube. Put some steel pole through it and bolt it and hey presto. Cheap sturdy custom bars =)

I got myself banned.
I've rode RADs and BUFFs, RADs are super similar to Wee's. I would say hands down get Buffs, they feel so much better than one piece, and when you feel like going a step wider or higher its not a big deal, just buy a new tube. When i had my RADs i was breaking reinforced forks like no other, but with my buffs i ride non-reinforced forks and get a few months out of them, and i never break forks.

It's because threaded forks sinks into the Buffs, making some threads into the bars as the force of the landing is applied on the bars, so the aluminium steertube is soft.

I would ride Buffs too, since they are interchangable, but
the reason I don't ride is that i'm afraid of the stem getting into my jaw. One-piece bars are smooth, but regardless of that, i managed to crash my jaw on it so bad that i had to get stiches for my jaw, because the skin and flesh ripped apart because that skin is tight. I can't imagine what would have happened to me if i had used Buffs on the day i crashed my jaw on it, all those sharp edges seem so lethal.

i really like buffs, i prolly would have got them ages ago if they had shipped to uk
and i wouldnt make my own buffs cos everyone would like try and stab me or something. haha
but i always heard they were realy heavey, but my one piece aluminium bars were made of the same steer tube material and the same thickness on the aluminium crossbar and they were really light, so either the stem weighs a ton or buffs are light too.
plus im in my own project of making some one pieces so yeah.

I'd go with one pieces, i like the look way better, personally i am not a fan of the way buffs look, ive ridden them and to me they dont feel that great. i prefur my one piece bars, they feel better for stuff too

i rode buffs about 2 months ago for like a month, and hated them. Now i made my 1 pieces similar to Rad's V3, mild steel, with thick crossbar and steertube, and they're pretty --- heavy, but the weight is the perfect heavyness, so i can flow really nice. nose manuals are bomb on 'em.
