Who makes handlebars with a 22.2 mm stem-clamp diameter that are lighter than Atomlab GI series? Anyone make aluminium 22.2 mm bars?
Thanks.
Thanks.
In the past AtomLab made a set of GI bars with a thinner wall, but this year they dont. I wonder if the race bars are the thin walled GI bars with a different name...?The answer to your question: Atomlab does! I'm running Atomlabs (last year) Aircorp stainless steel bars, which are a bit lighter than the GI bars (I think around 100g), and I've been very pleased with them thus far. I haven't come across any Alum 22.2 bars yet. Atomlabs new sight has a new "race" bar 4130 bar, while this years Aircorp bar appears to have dropped the stainless steel in lieu of 4130... Hmm. Regarless, I like the bmx bend of these bars, as well as the fact that steel is for real. (Not hating on AL bars, I run them as well, but I "worry" less about a catastropic failure with steel...)
Yes, I edited my post, but cant edit the title...Do you mean 22.2 (equal to 7/8th, the BMX standard)?

That's believable. But, I wonder what's the excuse for so few, or, um, no aluminum bars in 22.4?? Sounds like discrimination against BMX to me.From what I've heard, lighter steel bars have a tendancy to bend quite easily. esp sans cross bar. I think that's why there aren't a lot of lightweight options out there right now...
We currently have 3 different version's of a 22.2mm handle bar in the works the material is at our bender right now , they should be available before the middle of February .Who makes handlebars with a 22.2 mm stem-clamp diameter that are lighter than Atomlab GI series?

Yeah, what he said!Hey Brad, how bout post some info on those bars and stems so I can place an order. I am interested in your new stuff but info is sparse.

We also have a cool little surprise that is included with these bars but were not telling just yet !
OOOOH! OOH! I know what it is! Pick me! Pick me! If I PM you with my suspiscion, do I get a free bar???? Did I spell suspscion wrong? Yep, I think I did... Crap... TWICE!
There it is from the man himself !The suprise is well worth the wait and the rise on the T-bars are going to be 2" and 3"....
what's the T bar gonna be made of? steel or alum?There it is from the man himself !
Yes the surprise is going to be sweet !
and I'm NOT telling nananananana
all our new bars are going to be made from TrueTemper OX platinum ( IE: chromoly steel )what's the T bar gonna be made of? steel or alum?
Powdercoated to match your Nemesis Project frameWhat are you going to go with in the way of colors? I wish someone would leave it to the customer's choice. Once it got rolling(and I understand batches and quantity discounts) it should be just as cheap to make a bar red as it is to make one black. Damn I'm hating black these days. Is there a less committed color??? I'm digging the raw cromo stuff, get a little moisture on 'em then clear coat them! Nuthin like weld discolorations and rust to say "Beat me!"
Seriously though, more color options? Red, white, Blah-ck, blue, green, whatever....

not talking about brad by any means, but in the bike industry i think you'd be surprised how many dont have the foggiest clue as to what they are doing. great examples: Both mavic and real trying to cryo-treat aluminium parts. pure idiocy!My guess is that they prob know what they're doing.
Metal is not comprised of molecules and cryo treating has no effect on aluminium. Take my word for it; I know first hand.Gotcha. SEEMS to be working for Mavic, though... Technically, treating is just rearranging the metals molecules. Aluminum begins treating itself the second it leaves the extrusion press, or is released from a mold. Cryo might just allow the molecules to settle a bit more, make a more stable finished product. One of the reasons I get so irrate when peeps start yelling and screaming about "you can't PC your rims, it takes out the heat treating!" Wanna climb through the screen and start slappin!
AL also starts deteriorating the second it begins aging. Perhaps the cro slows this process?
The bars are made from Ox platinum which technically isn't chromonly it's a different alloy which has air hardening properties .not talking about brad by any means, but in the bike industry i think you'd be surprised how many dont have the foggiest clue as to what they are doing. great examples: Both mavic and real trying to cryo-treat aluminium parts. pure idiocy!
thank godI'm not doing gloss black , red , white etc. unless a specific customer request it , I got some really neat and orignal Nem Pro colors for the production bars .
