Arent they hollowbites? If so my mate has had some since 2007

In fact most of his bike is the same as 2006-7 eclat stream fork, hollowbites 8.25" bars (but with a riser stem)

Everyone's seem to last. A little creaky but worth it imo and yea great looking.
But can't go wrong with most cranks these days.

Pretty much indestructible except via user error. Only ever seen one broken pair and they were mad old and used the entire time by a huge guy who goes real big.

The pedal insert sucks on them though. Although mine must be over 6 years old now. I just wish they didn't creak so much.

Me to they do creak an awful lot but I've gotten used to it after a couple years of riding them

can I mount a v-brake system in u-brake mounts? it pisses me off that I threw away some bits of my flybikes EBS brake mounting kit and I the whole set costs 30€ and I have a pimpin' u-brake laying around and I can't friggin' use it

however I want a brake and as much as I hate the looks of v-brakes this is the cheapest quickest option

Unfortunately no you can not use V-brakes on U-brake mounts do to the location of the mounts in relation to rim. You won't be able to get the pads to line up to the rims basically.

I remembered someone telling me that gyro tabs would work I looked it up and my frame's gyro tabs and the brake mount have the same holes and threads so I went with a blank kit that has gyro tabs and a bridge, in a week I should be able to mount my brake

Today I saw a friend who I hadn't seen in ages, I told him hey I learned feeble hards

All I got "and you still struggle with those?" From a guy who sold his bike to buy weed and never could learn smiths grinds

Smh
