new barends

[Dewey]

i dont know if anyone else has done this yet, but what id someone made barends out of urethane, might sound dumb but, its not a bad idea
wheels hti the ground and slide all the time, they would be soft yet last forever

 

[Ronnie Bergan]

Ok.

 

[issac p]

i think they would have a hard time staying in the bars

 

[Jimmy C]

make em how odi makes theres but with urethane. that was a really good idea actually

 

[scootinjew]

agreed, i know it's possible.

thats exactly what i was thinking
EDIT:maybe next time i dehub a wheel ill glue part of the urethane to broken odi bar-ends, and yea

 

[Dewey]

bump, tell me if its a good idea or not

 

[Robert]

i don't really think it's a good idea they will be too soft i think and rip apart

 

[gjdadj]

ingenious! i'd suggest making it thick, for strength and so the grip doesnt rub the concrete, give it a go, make sure to post it in the 'youre custom/homemade scooter parts' theread im eager to see them

 

[Trace]

Ok.

 

[Dewey]

ima bump dis cuz i want more opinions

 

[Rob.]

Dumb idea, we already have good bar ends.

 

[TomGeorge]

What's wrong with metal bar ends?

 

[DavidBryson]

its not a bad idea i guess

 

[AshleyPowell]

good idea i guess,but would have to be between scooter wheel hardness and skateboard wheel.

 

[Aidan Burns]

More like skateboard wheel. Scoot wheels chunk from landing smoothly on the ground, they would chunk even more from sliding and hitting the ground constantly.

you guys are dumb

 

[Dewey]

alright, I came up with this idea because they would be cheap and last a long time, metal barends are expensive and hurt when they hit your arms and stuff(not being a pussy) and plasticbarends suck because they only last for a like a month maybe 2 or 3. its just a simple idea that would make life a bit more simple.

 

[DavidBryson]

^i k wat u mean. its honestly not that bad an idea, even though the bareneds we have now are good

 

[AshleyPowell]

ITS BEEN DONE.
