Barends for BMX or steering stubs

Barends is an English word, the original name Bar Ends is the end of the steering wheel.

The simplest are plastic ones, as a rule they come with flu. You just insert the end cap to the stop and thanks to the ribs it keeps well in the steering wheel. Such bends are the lightest, look simple, cheap and not durable.

The next type of bend is with a petal mount. Such bends are heavier than everyone else, because they have the most reliable fastening, and the hat can be of a variety of materials and design. You unscrew the bolt, insert the bend into the steering tube until it stops, and then tighten it until it stops. And the last type of bends that gained the most popularity are aluminum milled bends. Milling allows you to achieve a variety of shapes, and thanks to the anodizing technology they are available in absolutely any color. Such benders are attached very simply. You put them on like steering wheel covers and tighten the side bolts all the way, the fastening is simple and at the same time reliable. The weight of such bends is minimum about 50 grams of steam. Our store has a huge assortment of bends of this type. You will find quality reliable plugs to your liking. By installing bends, you not only decorate your bike, making its design complete, but also take care of protecting your hands, handlebars and, most importantly, the abdomen and groin (those who ride understand the stomach / groin), which often suffer from bars and unsuccessful landings.

Once the bends were made of steel, but practice has shown that such a part, despite its enormous margin of safety, is too heavy. Of course you can, as an option, consider titanium as a material for this part, but this is also not justified, the loads are not so large, and the material is expensive.

Some neglect the importance of brands when assembling a bicycle, but this detail is needed not only for aesthetic beauty, but also for safety when falling. There were many cases when, when performing tricks, riders fell perpendicular to the handle of the steering wheel. Sometimes it cost just bruises, but there were cases when even internal organs were damaged, when installing the shafts, you will 100% protect yourself from this.
