I can't remember when I last broke one. I have done this to straighten bent levers, but never pre-emptively. Interesting idea... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richt Posted October 19, 2019 Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 I have also done the same with my gear pedal. Give it a try, you might never fall off again to find out if it works? Strange though It hasn't stopped me falling off enough times to believe it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thai-ty Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 Bark busters No. Just no. Not on a trials bike. Have some common decency. Please. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyc21 Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) I tried a type of bark busters on my first trials bike for a time but after running them I find that if you really want something on the bars for any kind of protection I think the flag type guards to block bushes/branches are a better choice. Maybe not the best looking but after putting them on they sure have saved me from a few branch activated front brake and clutch moments out on the loop trail.

charlie chitlins Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 C'mon...bark Buster's are perfectly fine...they protect your fingers when you make mistakes while riding in a dress and are a great place to carry your purse ?
