Why do people cut bars down?
pickle:
don't think so, i think it was the time when bar spins started to become popular and it's easier to spin narrow bars i guess ???
insectbones:
Makes sense I suppose...less chance of walloping your nuts with the bar ends.
Jaan:
Some of the sponsors only produced Pro or Expert sized bars so typically they'd cut them down for the rookie classes, plus it was safer snapping out of the gate.
Bfellows:
Thank you all for your varied answers........ :LolLolLolLol:

By far the best........ I am at least a little wiser..... (I think)
markyp:
the old school bars that are cut down is generally because they were too big for the kid who had them,i bought a set of snide star bars from my local bike shop back in 84 and my day had to cut them down slightly as I was and still am a bit taller than Spen.also I was told that some of the serious racers cut them down so that they could sneek through a smaller gap,makes sense but not sure how true this is
