Title: Kink Lynx Bars - Experience?
Post by: bluebmx on March 19, 2015, 07:16:19 AM

They are for sale on Dans right now for $18, so it seems like a no brainer, but they are a good bit lighter than most bars. I wanted to see if anyone here had used them, and if they held up, or if the light weightiness caused an early failure.

Thanks!

A friend of mine has these and loves them.  He's a big dude and they've held up to him for the 12 months (or longer even) he's had them. He swears by them, loves how comfy they are and has had no problems. At $18 dollars if you don't like them you could sell them for a profit!

This was 2-3 years ago but I've seen first hand 3 different people snap the bars and how much they flex just from pushing down on them. They might have gotten better but I'd stay away from them.

Thanks for the advice, I'll stay away!
