This thread needs a bump. Made some bar extenders using the dowel method. 1" on either side. Freshly paint stripped (NOT sanded, using paint stripper) Blunt Smiths.

I'll make you some if you want them, like $7 shipped a pair. Cromo bars only for now, I guess.

 

[Jacobo]

^^can you make a tutorial. or just explain how you did it?? looks amazing btw

 

[morgan_bvrns]

I think someone made a tutorial before. Anyway, you just use a piece of dowel that fits snug in your bars, cut it to how much you want on each end plus 1". Cut a piece of bar or get a piece of pipe the same size as a crossbar and cut it to how much you want to add on each side. Hammer the dowel into it and leave the extra 1" of dowel sticking out, then hammer that whole thing into your bars.

Or buy a pair from me and just put them in.

Here's a deck that i worked on when i was bored about a year ago, its not even close to being ride able because i never got around to finishing it. i made a integrated and standard one but yeah I just wanna know what you guys think about it.

might have wanted to make the headtube longer the you dont weld into the cups?

Yeah when i make another soon the headtube will be completely different. But i cleaned up all the overhang so the bearings still go in fine.

looks pretty good for being homemade

 

[morgan_bvrns]

Are they replaceable grind rails? Cool.

Don't like how much the deck plate tapers, though. Make it more squared.

 

[issac p]

just curious james, how much do that cost you to make?

yeah they are hahaha. i thought it would be a good idea at the time. and yeah the next one i do will be just square and not have the pinned overhang like that one does.

its all scrap from my shop so it was like 15 bucks.

 

[issac p]

how long did it take to make?

 

[James Webb]

how long did it take to make?

about a day or 2, i kinda just did it out of my head except for the headtube angles and the little rails.

 

[issac p]

well props man, it looks sick.
i really want to see what your next deck is going to look like.

 

[James Webb]

thanks haha, im going try to draw out some plans and get it done soon.
