Pre v lug bars

Post by Mellons »

AnyOne ever try doing pre v style compression fit lug bars? Same as vintage style, but with notch cut out each end to mimic screw heads? Was i dreaming or did someone do these a while back?

You can buy springbars with fake screw heads on one side to mimic stock screws.

River used to have these years ago. I’ve always thought one could just cut up two springbars carefully, without cutting the inner spring, then rejoin the two “fat” ends. But never tried it myself.

Edit: Sorry I misread, I thought you meant replicating double screw lug bars. I just realized you meant compression bars. Haven’t seen those but should be easy to make.

I think searching for "24mm springbars" does the trick

Most of them (with ”fake” screw) however have a thinner end on one side to mimic the threaded side.

Double screw ”gen spec” ones are available from Wholesaleoutlet on eBay.

Yep i have a gen spec set but they aren't great tbh- design flaw corrected in pre a cases.

Compression bars are the best of all imo, just thinking that if screw notches were cut into pin ends they would look like pre v but be much better.
