[poll] flanges

[Derek Scootz]

lets keep it out of the Your Scooter Thread

Flanges or No Flanges? what do you think?

 

[Joe Hilditch]

my bars will have gussests so i want them incase i kill myself

 

[AlbinoPiglet]

what are flanges

 

[Big L]

i use to like them then i came to my senses and remembered they have no point and only make you look bad

 

[Meep94]

I hate flages just becuase they look stupid no matter what (my opinion) wide, short, geussts, whatever. Scooters don't have brake levers no need for them, if anything I think they get in the way for bar spins and other tricks. For me when I hold my grips I hold them at the very end so my hands are as far apart as posssible but, if I was to ride flages I'd ride em' with dounuts

 

[yamamsmells]

On stock bars then yes, they will stop you from landing bars on the ttube bit. But as corey said theres no point in them on scoots.

 

[Jdbug_rob]

there are good on wider bars but on short bars when youve got 2 flanges dead close, nearly touching each other it looks silly

also they help prevent your hand sliding into the bolts on seatposts

 

[c4scooters]

i have gussets too so yeah i use em

 

[Scoots12]

i guess i really only kept mine on cause i was too lazy to cut them off but i think they look fine on skinny bars

 

[metrocardscheme]

yes because then my hands wont fall

 

[Jake ODonnell]

i have grip donuts, and i love them

 

[skavenger]

No flanges here, They look stupid

whats your logic for that? it looks really dumb when theres all this bar and then theres a big ring in the middle. and wouldn't it get in the way of barspins? seems dumb to me.

Flanges, with donuts, are sick. As long as the bars are 16 or less than there sick. Anything past 16 and flanges get gay. And if you claim they keep your ands off the seat post, just practice catching your bars on your grips. Really concentrate on it. Watch them and stuff.

 

[Kevin11]

flanges are gay no matter what, if u catch ur bars wrong, u'll mess up cuz u'll land on ur gay flanges and, they look like ---- too, i strongly dislike them lol

 

[Bandana]

i like them on skinny bars, but they look bad on rlly wide bars

 

[SharkStammler]

they just look really dumb and pointless on scooters

 

[YODA_01_01]

i think flanges are gay period.

 

[James Scown]

What are they? Are they the foam padding pieces that go between the bars on a bike or whatever?

my logic is that its more like on a bmx, it looks more natural were as if you have shortbars, the flanges are dead close and it looks silly.
