i made my own aluminum bars and it was complete shit. yeah they were light and everything but i bent them in one day.
Adam S said:How much does the average Chromo bar way? Maybe Andrew is trying to point out that Aluminum bars that are strong enough to be riden will weigh just as much as Chromo because it will have to be that much thicker to still be ridable. Just my thought, I dont know how much Chromo bars weigh so maybe what Im saying has nothing to do with anything at all.
yeah, but for some chromo might be over kill, yet stock might be too weak so aluminum will be good.DonoFlip said:Aluminum is so weak guys i had FrenchID bars and they were thick as fuk and still bent and then snapped straight off just get 4130 best ever metal
Stock bars don't even "bend and snap off" with out tons of abuse so they either don't know what they are doing or are using the worst material ever. I'm not saying aluminum bars will be stronger than 4130 BUT they will be plenty strong enough for 90% of the people out there and a lot lighter and if iscoot bars are bending too then they aren't using 4130 or they are using it too thin or you need to stop throwing your scooter because NOTHING is indestructible.DonoFlip said:Aluminum is so weak guys i had FrenchID bars and they were thick as fuk and still bent and then snapped straight off just get 4130 best ever metal

If you made bars and you have to reinforce them then you didn't make them right. There shouldn't even be such a thing as reinforcing parts if people would learn how to build stuff and that goes for Razor and Micro too.Kevin Croft said:i have 1 piece aluminum bars and as long as u reinforce them i think they're fine
Madis said:For the 394828th time:
Ti is NOT lighter than Aluminium.
And it's NOT as strong as chromoly.
Ti bends!!
Aluminium's density is 2700kg per cubic meter.
Titanium's density is 4500kg per cubic meter.
Chromoly's density is around 7800kg per cubic meter.
Wikipedia can confirm that information.
