anyone used BMX style bars on a MTB ?

To give a more upright position or solve a very short steerer problem?
I did it on a small framed hack bike and fitted bar ends in the middle to give an alternative aero position …worked well ….but for Offroad?

you'll be fine, ensure you video the results!

PMSL! This has to be a troll!!

I've done it 😀

many years ago though… it worked quite well.

You'll need either a shim spacer or a BMX stem as BMX bars are 22.2mm dia.

However don't be too surprised if you get mocked for doing it 😀

Why " a troll " …am I missing something ❓

btw …I'm thinking of doing it for the missus's build 😉

I'll post a pic maybe tomorrow of the hack mtb ……it's been all over europe (never got stolen !!)

Profile make a bmx style cromoly bar with only 4" of rise (about 1/2 the rise of regular bmx bars) for BMX 24" cruisers – this would work better for your application 😉

It was the comment about barends…

4-5" BMX cruiser bars would be a better bet – not a lot taller than the DMR Wingbars I put on my Inbred.
