Riding with wooden handlebars on my MTB - Will they snap? I try to find the breaking point of these wooden handlebars by riding dirt jumps, skatepark, urban freeride and pump tracks, Is this my most ridiculous bike challenge yet?
I head to a DIY store to buy a tool with a wooden handle that I can cut into a wooden handlebar and fit to my custom dirt jump mountain bike to see if riding with wooden handlebars is possible and how long they will last before they snap! After buying the tool from B&Q I go home to do some bike maintenance and fit this piece of wood onto my bike and cut it down to the same size as my title handlebars. After fitting the new wooden bars we head out and go straight to the skatepark to get used to the feeling before throwing down some tricks to see what was possible. Once I'd landed some bangers it was time to get more crazy. Next stop was a pump track for a huge manual line before a quick illegal park of my van outside a skatepark to do the unthinkable. With more confidence in my wooden bars I hit a few urban MTB freeride lines before going into the woods and sending it way to hard. Would you ride with these bars?
I hope you enjoy the video!

Awesome as usual Sam! As a carpenter and wood nerd I can tell ya that youve got yourself a nice set of Ash handlebars. This wood is typically used for sledgehammers and axe handles due to its strength and shock absorbing properties. On closer inspection the piece you selected had straight grain with minimal run out, meaning that the wood fibres were as long as they can be giving you maximum strength. Not only that, you had the grain orientated with the annular rings 'to the sky' rather than parallel with the ground, so you can take more hits as the grain is less likely to fold and break. Clearly you knew this cause I've seen your woodworking skills ;)

@@feeleap5545 A properly made (and looked after) tool handle can last a lifetime, even getting smacked around all day. But these have attention to detail and specific characteristics that modern mass manufacturers generally just don't do. You see a lot of cheaper, less suitable woods used nowadays with very poor cuts of wood where the grain doesn't run the length of the handle, theyre full of knots and defects and have improper grain orientation which results in a lot more breakage. The average user will not notice this. These cheap tools do feel as though theyre designed to break so you have to buy a new one. Ultimately wood is a natural and imperfect material, but I think you'd be surprised just how far you can push it.

@@pablocruzgilmour Wood is the most magical thing in the world I reckon. It's imperfect ,as in it occasionally has knots and burls and breaks in the grain, but it's also the most perfect thing for what it needs to do because trees grow it when they require it and where they require it without wasting anything. I don't think there's any way this handlebar would snap honestly. It's too thick and as you already pointed out the grain directions is absolutely perfect for the kinds of load it will be experiencing.

Some engineer made mtb frames almost entirely out of wood. They were incredibly good, maybe better than carbon, because wood has such excellent vibration damping, low weight, and durability when well designed and crafted. Company was called Renovo, unfortunately they went bust, because the level of craftsmanship required to pull this off is very expensive. I've jammed wood into metal handlebars to damp vibration and the results were pretty astonishing.

Wrap the bars with spare monny tins to make them aluminium again. If you use a pop rivet gun then they can have a steampunk vibe to their construction. Then, if the wood breaks, you will get shards of razor sharp monny tin instead of just a few splinters. Maybe take some tweezers with you for first aid. The views on this 'episode' must all go to the end as everyone expects the bars to break and are watching for the inevitable crash of doom. Max respect for doing things I would never do with no brakes. Wooden bars is mind blowing. I think you can also use the tool adapted to the bike to do trail maintenance. It would be faster than walking. Just help the council out for lols. I survived broken handlebars on a main road. It was my fault as I had drilled a hole in them and metal fatigue happens. I continued my journey and made it back home again, feeling a bit silly.

This is probably the bike part where wood is going to work the best. A good strong wood like hickory is going to be hard to snap, but the middle will probably wear out quickly because of the small rings. If you took a piece of metal pipe and cut it in half as a spacer it'd probably last forever.

I once had to rush to an exam and had forgotten about my broken handelbar. So I found something with the right diameter at the time, a toilet plunger! 😂 I just unscrewed the plunger itself, installed the shaft and rode away. I was pretty carefull with the bar, managed to get to the exam on time. I broke it on the way back. For sure, it was not a great piece of wood, but I'm still suprised you managed to do so much with yours! Awesome!

It may be that the stem is compressing the wood with each hit, creating a bit of play. Maybe try a single wrap of rubber from an old tube to cushion it? Should damp some vibration as well, but mostly it'll keep the hard stem from damaging the wood.

Sam as a self proclaimed honorary subscriber of your channel. I request a new common feature be added. One of the utmost importance.. Since we know that to achieve the shreddy, one must be ready. A whip test must be done. Not only to test the tensile strength of said products but also because not going past 90 is a violation of shreddy rules, and a violation of shreddy rules is of major consequence .. So, with that in mind.. crack a monny and whip it good Sam. Whip it REAL good.
