more bite for your bar

[beatcad]

here's a little tip i learned from workin' on motorcycles, but i've done it on a couple BMX bikes also.
i thought i'd just pass it along to y'all.
if your bars slip or are not knurled or ya just want/need a little extra grab try this......

you do have a center punch dont ya? if you ever want to drill a hole in an exact spot you know waht i mean.
if ya dont they're inexpencive(sears/home depot) and will last forever.
anyhow, use one to make "dimples" in the bar. it will make a small impression, but the outter portion of the circle will be slightly raised.
make as many or as few as ya like. in an organized pattern or not.
good luck guys & gals

cool idea beatcad, i also remember using a center punch on the seat post to punch my name in it when i was around 6 or 7. came in handy ID'ing it when it was stolen too :lol: (as long as the thief doesnt pull the parts off anyway)
