Just had my old school TNT Wyfe Beater serviced and put back into action. I'm looking for some new bars as the ones I currently have are old Primo Moustache bars which were heavily cut down (as ya did back in the day) and they feel far too low and small for getting back into jumping. I'm rather used to 760mm mtb bars now so would love some recommendations as to what I should be looking for as I'm super out of touch with today's BMX scene!

Cheers.

I just got S&M elevenz (with 11 inch rise 30 inch wide (762mm)) they also make the perfect 10 (10 inch rise same width) look good and bigger than what came stock on my bike.

Didn't remember that bike. Googled and found this one.

I would say try some 9" or 10" bars. Primo Moustache bars were around 7.5" if I remember right.

Have a very good feeling its also known as a "King Of Dirt"
I spoke to someone who used to work at a place that would import TNT into Aus and they weren't allowed in as a "Wyfe Beater" so they came in under the other name.

Thanks for the info! I'll look into the 9 or 10 inch bars.

They were indeed renamed King of Dirt in other countries when the name Wyfe Beater didn't go down too well!
