Will this work with dual crowns?

No you need the special stanchion saw, make a small modification to your fork and then you can barspin a DH bike!

I heard rumor that Cannondale is currently plugging away at a concept for a DH bike that has a floating head tube, totally disconnected from the bike, so that any DH rider with a dual crown can spin his/her bars without hitting any frame. Still just a concept tho....

You're not wrong @warhorsey.....

I even got wind of a unique bike design they are using to prototype it, the bike even has a floating front chainring and what looks to be a carbon, double down crank set.

Can you use a bell?

h82crash (May 4, 2014 at 22:03)

Or how about an old crankarm with a crank bros. eggbeater mounted to the top of the steerer tube so you really crank out some barspins.

Ridonkulus (May 5, 2014 at 6:27)

Nope, the eggbeater would fall apart mid barspin

You can hook up a power generator to that knob so that when you bar-spin you light some LEDs all over your bike and then look like a boss.

'Spinning on the bus driver's knob', oh yea!

freeride-forever (May 5, 2014 at 12:16)

Yes, no wonder they gave me so much trouble, not having the b-spin knob!!!! Here I thought it was just me. :s Thanks for the lesson Jack, but bars have become far too ubiquitous. How about a lesson on some textbook Lacondeguy/M&M/Goldman super seaters or something that oozes steez like that? We need more of those & less b-spins in this Freeride Mountain Bike Association's Freeride Mountain Bike World Tour.

Thinking of getting a tail lift fitted to the back of my dirt jumper to make back flips easier B-)

nice joke...though getting your catching hand away from the bars is really important,i think.
