Does anyone run 8" bars on there 24" bikes? I saw the pic with the perfect 10" on some ones Liquid bike, I just feel those might be to cumbersome. Is wider bars better on a Cruiser? For example is 28" width better that say a 25" width.

maybe I'm rambling. Thank you for listening people. any pics would be nice.

yeah the 10"s were too much. i traded them for 9"s which i like. i also like 8"s. check out the "my liquid bike" thread.

yeah I check out the liquid bike thread thats what gave me the idea to start tweaking on parts a bit.
Just want to see more pics with 8" bars or BoneDeth Bars, Nyquist Bars, old knee saver bars & even new school 4pc. bars and new school 8" 2pc. bars on a 24" bike. But I think 8" is the way to go on my bike just don't know what kind to get.

I have 8" bars on my 24" BMX. I dig them. I can't remember what the hell they are though cause they were given to me, not purchased by me. I'll try to remember to throw up a pic later on when I'm not at work.

I'm wondering about these bars now Animal Bob Bars that are Height: 7.8″ Width: 25″. Now I want to know it that is to short in width. Oh decisions. Who wants to spend $50-$70 on bars and not have them feel right.

 

[sittingduck]

Most people like wider bars. Some like them that narrow. Longer bars can be cut down! That's a pretty standard height, lots of options.

not quite 8", but i run 7 7/8" bars...

...I think mine are land magnets on my Specialized...

yeah, you need something taller to eliminate that feeling. your stays are also 3/4" longer than the Liquid which helps provide the land magnet feeling...
