Someone pointed out these bars on sale for $30 on dans. I decided to look even though I was positive i wouldn't like them (im picky). Well, they have the exact specs that I was trying to get on some custom bars. So I placed an order and am totally beyond stoked.
However, I cant seem to find much on them other than "Odyssey, 41 thermal, lifetime warranty, blabla". Just seeing if anyone on here has any personal experience with these. Especially regarding flex issues or any breaks. Im pretty big dude, so majority of bars that ive tried flex on me. OG Lumberjacks and Animal Bobs have been the only that have felt stiff when I put all my weight on them. Csb.
So lets hear some reviews? Haha

Buying. The bars then asking? Smh.
Haha but seriously, with the 41 thermal and lifetime warranty does it really matter that much if they break/bend/flex? And odyssey usually makes good shit (besides their hubs) so I don't see why they'd be bad.
Not to mention they're Gary Young's bars

For $30 i just wanted to get them before everybody else bought them all (in the rare event that that would happen). I know I sound stupid but I NEED these specs and didn't want to risk losing this deal. Just wanted to hear some experiences with them. Better late than never I suppose? Lol. Sorry.

I've had them since April and jump/360 off things about as tall as myself (5'10" about) and they don't flex or feel weak or anything. I had Skavenger Swift bars before them & cracked them slightly after only about 8 months of riding them. They definitely feel solid and for the price you can't beat it. Lifetime warranty anyway if you do

I know Sundaybmxrr has them. I imagine if you think the Lumberjacks felt stiff then it would be the same with these.
