[QUOTE="mtk, post: 1179502, member: 54339"] Yes, they can break if you bend them back and more importantly, why would you chance it? Laying in the hospital because you were "too broke" to fix it properly isn't going to be much of a consolation, particularly if some of your injuries result in permanent damage. Trust me, I've seen the inner workings of a Trauma Unit as a patient and it is NOT something I'd recommend trying out in person. Besides, if you're that broke, how do you afford gas to ride anyway? A cheap set of steel bars is less than $20. Yeah, they'll bend the first time you drop the bike, but you get what you pay for and all that. You can ride with them bent as they are now, but bending them back will work-harden the steel at the point of the bend. Ever bent a paper clip back and forth? It gets harder to bend (work-hardening) and then if stops bending and snaps. The steel in your handlebars behaves the same way. [/QUOTE]
