A big decision

[Frank T]

Well my bars are slowly becoming to small for me, and seeing as i am most likely going to continue growing I need to do something so i came up with three ideas
btw i have threaded shit
1- Buy a pair of vertx G or T bars at like 24 inches(mine are 21 and im about 5"10)
2- make my threaded fork threadless, stuff a forktube in my bars and get scs- raise it two inches(run this till my forks break and then get actual threadless forks)
3-Make my fork threadless, taper my bars to make them bigger and then get HIC

Yeah the only reason i have the other ideas is cause that way i could slowly move away from threaded but i wanna hear what you guys think

Hmm. I'd do either 2 or 3. It's amazing how much nicer your set up gets when you mOve to threadless.

 

[Frank T]

Yeah i know im leaning torwards the HIC one and then i would run the jb wleded forks till they break and then just replace parts as need be

 

[Garrett B]

Go HIC

 

[CollinDonnelly95]

Just buy HIC T or G bars from the beginning, JB weld your forks, if you don't have one buy a threadless headset and you'll be set

I thought my bars were getting to small, bought a pair 2 inches taller and it killed my riding, I would go 1'' up at maximum.

And HIC is cheaper, I would roll with it.

Ive got the headset already i just thought it may be cheaper to taper them then get completely new ones cause i love my inward bars

 

[Frank T]

Bump, anyone elses opinions on the topic

 

[Mikey G]

If you're using RUP forks, just epoxy putty/jb weld them, then hammer a handle from a pro model into the fork for reinforcement. Lasted me a year.

If you have a long fork tube, you can always use spacers to keep you going. But I would choose 3.

24 high and your 5"10 no im 6"2 and i ride 23 high and thats perfect i'd go with the hic option if you have done it before or know someone who has done it.
