    Handguards, Flag Guards?

    by LonzoRizo » Tue Jul 17, 2007 4:04 pm

    What handguards should i get? I want to get flag guards cause theyre cheaper, but i want the wrap arounds to help protect my levers. It is really worth the money for wrap arounds? Or will the flag guards do the job? Thanx, l8ter

    unless you plan on running into trees i would think the flag guards will work fine, as far as levers i recommend wrapping the handlebars with teflon tape under the perches and leaving the controls loose enough to rotate in a fall but tight enough to stay in place while riding. that lets the levers move when they hit the ground.

    i just tested that concept today after casing a double at elsinore, bouncing down to the flat then getting slammed to the ground and watching my bike flip in the air over me, i got up thankfully picked up my bike pushed the clutch lever back down and rode away.
