OG Caramel 3 bars.
« on: August 28, 2009, 04:47:26 AM »
Who has these things? Any history of them breaking much? I was thinking about getting some Chase bars, but seems like they break frequently. I suck, so my bars are gonna take the worst beating imaginable.

Caramels look pretty indestructable from the vid they had of the bike being tossed over and over. Chase bars life time warranty!!!

I hear that "life time warranty" is only against manufacturer defects. That means, if you break them, it doesn't count.

I like the way these guys in Hungary make bars. The Sepy bars look awesome too.

I wanna run a front brake because I'm stupid and took my brakes off before I learned anything. So I've been using Animal Bob bars, which I love, except I cut them down, and I keep trying to find a lever to run on the bend, but nothing is working out. I've bent like every lever I have trying to get it to work out, but it just doesn't feel good.

 Hi. I Have been running the version 2 of the caramel bars for over 2 years and I love the  bars so much. They feel awesome,tall but not extreme tall and they are virtually indistructable. I have pretty much broken everything lol but these bars are still perfect. My favorite bars of all time for sure so I would definantly recomend them if they suite your needs and your worried about them holding up to lots of abuse.

I run OG stuff and love it. I have the caramel III's too, but they are so new its a bit early to ask the history of the bars regarding breaking.

A part needs to prove itself for 6 months at least before reviews can be given imo, but they have a good history in general.

Really? 'Cause I don't remember asking about these?

Actually, I wouldn't even consider them, simply because everybody rides MTF's nuts wayyyy too hard.

I don't think bars are worth that much.

Mtf goodies are made when ordered. No stock. Truly a custom part and MTF stand behind their parts 100% no BS.  They will  make you imagination a reality.  

Thats no nuthuggin faggot sh*t. Thats just the truth. Few companys will make from raw stock customs.

Hahahaha.

I don't know, I just find it hard to believe that MTF is the be all end all answer to flatland bmx needs. Most of this forum seems to think it is.

Word.


I would also not ever run a MTF part but would happily run the OG bars. I use OG forks and love them

Sometimes its as much about who makes the product as the product itself. I really respect the OG guys and their scene so would rather support them. As you said people ride MTF's nuts so I dont belive they are in need of support. Coupled with the fact I simply dont like their designs and the cost of their product.

this dude is british so take his opinion with a grain of salt when it comes to US companies.
i never hear anyone badmouthing MTF, which means the great majority of their
customers are happy with their products. simple.
i do like the Caramel 3 bars, don't get me wrong; but it's not a matter of MTF not being
great quality bars.  Good companies always need our support. that statement was just asinine.
