I Have some questions!
Can you answer them for me?

1. What's the difference between Crowbars and Vultures?
2. Do you ship international?
3. Is the zebra print available on every kind of bar?
4. Is riding the same with the backsweep?
5. What size of bars do you need when you have a SCS and a FrechID fork.. 1-3/8 or 1-1/4?

Sorry for al my questions (If you alrady answerd them) and my bad grammar!

1. CrowBars were min vultures at first. they are 20" wide instead of 24". And the whole thing is scaled down in size compared to Vultures.
2. Email me about international orders. Shipping is pretty nasty to most places though...
3. Yes. There is a zebra print option that you can add to your cart so that we will know to do it. We will do it on any part that is also in your cart.
4. CrowBars have only a little bit of backsweep, so they are super easy to get used to, and once you ride them you will most likely prefer it.
5. For an SCS you can use either size. 1-3/8" would be stronger for sure and 1-1/4" will save you a couple ounces.

i need some bars cory but no cash but i do got a micro xt deck
head tube and fork
you interested

What kinda bars u want?
email me radcorynw@gmail.com

did you get my email

im riding crow bars right now and they are pretty nice i just dont like that when i ride normal bars they feel bent down haha

I REALLY want some custom bars, I'm just afraid people are gonna rag on me because I have my own "bar company", even though I make them in tiny, unsignificant batches haha.

I'd get 21 high x 19 wide, standard notched, with 2" single gussets, 1 3/8" with HIC.

Not even sure why I just told you that, but they'd be sick.

What's stronger btw for 19 wide? 2" singles, 4" half tube, or 6" half tube?

Im not really sure what would be strongest... Id just go with the 2" singles or the 4" half tube. I mean obviously the 6" would be strongest but at 19 wide its overkill when your trying to keep them light know what i meen?

Maybe we can make a trade?? Bar for bar ehh??

 

[Tylerr.]

i cant wait for my vultures
fuckkkkk yaeh

I guess, your bars are a lot more advanced though so it's not really fair for you guys.

BTW, you need to add an SCS option to the custom bar order form.

Cory if i ordered some rad bars and met you at sbw like i did for the other 2 bars also i would be getting some rad forks also i was wondering if i could get OS crow bars 21 high with zebra paint but instead of white it would be royal blue and get like 9 degree backsweeps?? a price check would be great and if i get the bars how much would each OS clamp be?

Dont baystates Have an integrated clamp?
I was thinking about doing that on the HIC bars really soon.
And I meant to put SCS option on customs. Ill update that soon. I forgot a few things on there I was super tired last time I updated.

Check you mail man

Nah, they're basic as it gets. 4130 American Chromoly, TIG welded, Standard notched, two thin slits on either side. The reason people like them so much is because they're simple and clean. Nothing special about them really, but at the time when everybody was grabbing for them, I was the only one to make bars with those specs. Everybody else would make them out of weird matierals, mig welded, or something like that.

ECX, my local, makes some shitty one piece bars with poop welds and no reinforcements.
And they have an integrated clamp, that I'm pretty sure they patented.


And Conor, just think about the design. 6" is stronger, but it'd look stupid with 19 wide.
Here are bars 18 high (for scs) 19 wide, and a pair 21 high 20 wide, both with a 4.5" single gusset

And Ian Kachmar told me Fernando said that two single gussets were stronger? Idk :/ cuz if you think about it, one longer piece definitely seems stronger.


Cory - I'm pretty sure you already know this, but with the one-piece half tube gussets, drill the notch in a bit more, and grind out the top.
The half tubes shouldn't really be half a tube either, they should be a little less than half.
One last thing. I'm curious, what do you guys use to cut your tubes in half?
I used a miter saw.

Not tight enough? try puttin some locktight on it.

Yeah, but he's using a stock clamp on, I'm assuming, OS bars.
Get a pair of half knuckles, or if your bars aren't OS, go to a hardware store. Get some grade 8 M6 size bolts and use them in your clamp.

 

[coryM]

^^How can somone patent an integrated clamp? Its been done a million times by other companies. Just look at how many bikes come with integrated clamps.

Also I am sending any orderes I have today and nothing will be sent again until Im back from hyphy.

^AJ your order wont be ready until I get back from hyphy jam.

And IDK what is stronger between individual gussets or the one half tube gusset. I think that if you are 18" wide or less then the individual single gussets look sick. The longer gusset options are there for people who want wider bars.

But like you said there is no reason to have a big ol 6" gusset on 15 wide bars ha idk if grips would even fit then.

Im pickin up some half knucks at hyphy! they look soooo sick.
Itll last me till Im makin my own at least.

And yeah hes got 1-3/8" but apparently quite a few people stretch pro model clamps to fit. Ive never even tried this.

Arent BUFFS 1-3/8" too right?

yeah but there realy thick so the HIC doesent work i tried.
and i cant get a pro clamp to fit so im just buying a french id clamp

Idk, but they have a sticker on all their bars that says something like this:
ECX bars
Genuine 4130 chromoly
tig welded
pat pending

It's just two nuts, one on either side of the slit. Hex head, strips easily, I'm sure you could do it better.

^AJ your order wont be ready until I get back from hyphy jam.

That's fine, I was thinking it'd take a lot longer.

And IDK what is stronger between individual gussets or the one half tube gusset. I think that if you are 18" wide or less then the individual single gussets look sick. The longer gusset options are there for people who want wider bars.

You have to remember when you have a single gusset that 1 1/8" - 1 3/8" of it isn't visible.
Wow, I just thought it out, I think individual ones ARE stronger.

Individual gussets are harder to weld and align in a jig, but.
The support I can see individual gussets giving, is that they would act like small "plate gussets."
Because the force pushing down from the bars will cause the edges of the gussets to "jam" into the steer tube/welds, absorbing a tiny bit of force, thus preventing the crossbar from bending.

One half-tube gussets are pretty much the same thing as the reinforcements in Inward bars. But with the half tube, it is pretty much externally butted, lightening rod tubing. Because it's thicker where it needs to be to prevent bending, and save weight over an internal tube reinforcement.

The problem with this is, that with 2 gussets it is absorbing some of the force in the steer tube. But with one piece gussets, the force is going to the middle of the gusset. So one-piece gussets will cause the bars to snap at the ends and/or middle of the gussets eventually.

But like you said there is no reason to have a big ol 6" gusset on 15 wide bars ha idk if grips would even fit then.

I've seen people put their grips over their gussets haha.

FrenchID Clamps are smaller than stock clamps, haha.
