I was just downstairs changing the worn out handlebar grips on my mid-80's vintage Wicked, and when reinstalling the old school Syncros steerhorns (expander bolt version) I (SNAP) cracked the handlebar! There's a 1-inch crack going down the length of the bar from the end.
This is an old steel FAT Chance bar, and I insist on keeping the old school Syncros Steerhorns even though they are ultra heavy, because they are by far the best ergo bar ends I've had.
I need to replace the handlebar, so that I can cinch down the bar ends tight enough...but I'm afraid that lighter modern bars won't stand up to the pressure of the expander bolt. do I have any options?
Downhill bars? Even better, anybody have an old FAT city handlebar??
Thanks in advance for your help.
