IE hollow 25mm vs uuc swayBarbarian 22mm

[Bothfeetin]

i was wondering since the IE 25mm is hollow if it will still be as stable at the swayBarbarian by uuc which is a 22mm

[KenC]

Stable?

[Bothfeetin]

i ment as stiff as in which is a better performance wise

[blueapplesoda]

are you on race suspension and slicks? if not then get the 22...

[Bothfeetin]

so the 25 is for a full blown race car but since its hollow would it tend to bend more therefor create more sway

[Teaguer]

Stable?

Yeah you know for doing kegstands and shit on.

[Bothfeetin]

you never know.......

Hollow bars are stiffer. Do your hw.

Assuming the drop link mount is in the same position between the 2 suppliers the hollow IE 25mm bar will be approx %150 stiffer than a solid 22mm bar.

Stability is all about balance. You can get there with either bar, just depends on the rest of the set-up.

[Bothfeetin]

ok then but then comes the bushing deal from what i herd the IE bushing are the best any input on the uuc ones

Not necessarily, at all.

A 25mm hollow bar (probably 25.4mm actually) will need to be pretty thick walled to have the same stiffness as a 22mm bar (probably 22.2mm actually).

It's possible, but not a slam dunk, to make a larger hollow bar stiffer

If you privately email me the wall thickness of the hollow bar, I will show how to do the math.

[Bothfeetin]

is looks labor intensive im just gonna go with the 22.2

Oh yea? Come on, lets see you try to prove that one...
