- In today's non-thursday, Tech Thursday with Phu and Max Vu (@_epicbm) (@maxvutang) we answer the age old question, Do Narrow Bars Make Barspins Easier?
Keep in mind Phu, cut down an old pair of Kink Stock bars from 29 inches to 23 inches in width. We don't recommend you try this at home, and especially don't use a grinder, like Phu did!

Next video should be. “Do 🩴 🩴🩴 help you spin faster? “Jk 😅😅 love the epic videos!!! I’ve learned so much from them.
😂😂😂
I’ll say it again - The world needs more epic bmx.
Cold. Hard. Facts.
AGREED
Amen to that spoken like a true wise man
"safety first!" *looks away* This is why we love Phu
Lmaooo
Don’t worry about it man, all that matters is that you put in the effort to record vids for us!
You da man 🥲
I cut a set of bars to help with the mental aspect of not hitting my knees
It definitely works
I think scotty cranmer tested this well.. and ended up with Begin's new signature prototype bars
I grew up in the Era of tiny bars... I can't go back. Big bars feel so weird even on a cruiser.
Not that I can barspin (I’d like to learn) but im thinking of cutting an inch off mine to 1: fit through doorways easier and 2: if I do learn to barspin , do it doesn’t catch on my beer belly. I mean loose clothing.....
My method used to be put the lever on put the grip by the lever mark and cut off the rest. Put on bar ends.
Thanks for this kind of videos. The channel actually taught me a lot of things in finding the right balance and technique. 👌🏻
Our pleasure Carl! ✊🏼✊🏼
Should of been a 10 second video saying yes
Thanks alfredo the video looks awesome
Nice video. Scotty C. just dropped the same knowledge yesterday in a totally differant way. Cool to see differant ways to explain make the same point
You and Scotty mind meld this week! Love it!
That was wild! I was like, oh here we go people are gonna think I copied him haha
@@AlfredoMancuso Nah, just great minds thinking alike! Or maybe the universe saying we need to see an Alfredo/Scotty collab sometime soon!
I grew up with cut bars. Till today i still ride with the same bars. I had long bars and either hit my knees or bars in my stomach on a fail. No room to bail
Fredo keepin the vibe good even for my snowed in headass
Great content, as always. Thanks.
🙏🏻🤛🏽
Guys get this I used a clamp on Dirty Harry leaver and clamped it below the handle bar crossbar I was g as hell way back in the day
it would only fit there 🤙
I still have same problem my oldschool powerlite bars with brakes is hard with today's grips. Never cut them either just short from factory
My next door neighbour had a powerlite we cut the rear dropouts so we could put the 14mm axle on instead of 10mm he’s still got the bike today it was pre 2000 we also used max daddy tyres I. Metal ramps they sounded like tractor tyres 🤟
Hell yea fredo keep them coming love the videos
🙏🏻🙏🏻
Had the milk bars and the Slims, probably why my back hurts
Good vid bro man I wish I lived closer to epic
I always love watching your video at epic mr.alf.Btw hope your having agood Day😀😀😀
You should have cut an inch off after every bar to see the best barspin length . great video tho! Much loveee
Hahaha that would’ve been such a long process haha
@@AlfredoMancuso Very true ahah , Hope your having a good day man !
safety first so look away! lmfao i love it
I have kink eagle bars and was thinking about taking an inch off each side because they are basically 30in wide ..... ive tried a few barspins and they hit my knees every time even when im trying to keep my legs straight as possible but maybe its just something ill figure out over time since im pretty new to riding (started in september 2020 and havent been able to ride much in december and january due to the weather up northeast)
Max with that Albino Preto hoodie!!!
IYKYK!!!
The reason you can barspin easier with smaller bars is because you have mechanical advantage in having your arms closer to your core.
🤓‼️💯
I have some diamond back bars that have small cross bar
I started riding Bmx in roughly 2000-2001 and I think I rode my primo moes bars cut to like 25” nowadays I like a little wider bar at 27” which allows me to throw a bar without hitting legs or belly lol….. that’s about the smallest I would want to go and still be able to run a brake on todays bar geometry
Nice safety squints
I already do my flick at the bend, but I'm used to catching them wide.
Maybe cutting 1.5" would have been a better place to start, combined with weight reduction in the wheel, tire and tube. That's where the bulk of the weight resides.
Fred Z or Elf blast bars I had a set of DK 4inch rise on DK first frame they came out with
ive allways run my bar around 27" wide 👍
Dirty lens epic is better than no epic!
Epic!!!
Don’t y’all know safety squints? Best built in personal safety device
U guys should review some se bikes
i still cut my bars short, my legs are to long lol
It’s the third leg that gets in the way right
@@truegaming8962 lol I wish I could say yes but I would be lying to myself
😂😂😂
@@markheaton you’re too humble for us
Lol I have some big 31in tree super moto bars. They are huge ahahaha.
IMO narrower bars just feel better to ride
Personal preference
Sketchier bombing down hill **nobrakes** tho
Wish I wasn’t working right now 😫
The dirty screen is cool bummed over audio glitch. Maybe next time u could dub it like a kung phu movie. Would be awesome video
Hahaha that would’ve been key
Og Animal Piff Bars
Now, I'm wondering how the 80s.CW bars compare to the 9s and 10s of today, they were tall and the crossbar and grip area was all the same piece.. as if you welded a tube across the top of a U.
I still have the tiny bars that came on my DK General Lee, super small and narrow, even for that time period, I can hang them off my rearview mirror...lol..Took me a while but I ride 8.5s and 9s now always about 28" wide
Bro...got an og CW ZXL frame and the bars are about today’s standards for the 9”+ riders. Skyway mags on the bike and still cruise it around 💪
@@keam210tx I wish I'd of kept any of my 80s bikes... your CW sounds bitchin
narrower bars make x-ups easier. Do an x-up while standing over your bike with hands on the grips. Then do the same thing but hold the bars at the cross bar and do the x-up.
I can hardly see the dirty lense because of my cracked phone screen
We’re even then! Haha
How can you barspin with 30 inch wide bars
Small bars are easier to spin than these new school bars, at lease for me.
Yea but leverage for certain tricks feels off, I do cut mine a little since I do bars and alotta xup tricks but barspins sut feel gross with smaller bars hars
@@ethandenis5650 it does feel off on certain trick, so now I have medium size bars and no more bar spins cus of that reason.
Haro slim bars FTW
I let the ADS play
You’re a real one 🥲
Hi from Portland Oregon we snowed in up in dis bitch
Narrower bars definitely help with wheelies
Nice brother 👊 ride safe... shout out next video brother
I'll never comprehend how to get bars past your knees. Even if they are 8 inches wide
You have to stand straight up, with your legs locked and gripping the seat with your knees. That provides ample clearance
I'll giver a go, thanks home slice!
And we rode those bars for dirt it was easier to move around your bike my new fiend bars I cut down
I'm from the small bar Era cut em all down lol
Facts
If anyone complained about the dirty camera lense they're a Karen and should go ride their bike 😂❤ that was super informative and i loved irlt 🎉
looks like a pogo bar😅
But but but but hahahaha
Damn really
Maybe
No wd40 to put on your handle grips.
Im old school , I ride old school. No cuts
Legend
Vid idea is from a kid coming to get his bars cut
To grt around? yea, to catch? No.
Facts
Short bar are better
slim bar hehe
And no I don't ride them anymore;)
It’s not the bars that make it spin faster or slower , it’s the weight of your rim , the weight of your tube , the weight of you tire , the forks your stem & the bars . All of these things are a big factor the rotational weight has a lot to do with it also , you can narrow it down to a Science to get a better faster spin . Back in the day like in the late 80s early 90s the way I had the whole front of the bike set up I could 1080 bar spin popping out the top of a 10 foot half pipe at the height of 6 feet above the coping. & if you add pegs to the front it also plays into faster bar spins . You have to narrow it down to a Science , it’s easy if you know how to do it .
I’m fat. I need narrow bars regardless
I don’t think weight is factored into the equation
Tired of this intro lmaooo love you alf haha
sorry but this cult stem is a prototype???
Yes
They look so narrow like 80s v bars. Lmfao
I always cut my bars 1" 1/4 on each side that's the sweet spot 👌
And when you kids realise that just because you grow doesn't mean you don't want to ride Bars get cut to save room when your 6ft
Hey man, i bet you could remove that dirt make with AI
✊✊✊✊🙌🙌🙌
Yooooo
Bro it's 2 1/2 inches and bar spins were easier because we pinched our seat with our knees
Amen!
Yooooooooo
28inch wide is perfect to learn barspins in my opinion
Is this becoming a Scotty spin off Channel?
😂😂😂😂😂 I know you’re too young to understand how calendars and pre recorded content works
@@AlfredoMancuso don’t take the bait 🎣, it was light hearted banter! I don’t think at 26 I am 😂
@@jamezalcock hahaha in that case you better know how calendars work haha
@@jamezalcock you baiting people then telling them not to bite? Meh. Troll9?
First
Ayyy
don’t come to california
Second
🤛🏽🤛🏽
pretty sure scotty cranmer just did this? hmmmm kinda sus man hahahaha.
Crazy concept to wrap your head around ...we filmed this on tuesday..Scotty dropped something similar on Thursday...math must not be a strong suit for some, so I’ll add it up for you guys...
Phu is like a filipino.
