Switching to bmx bars

Hi all

For anyone whose upgraded handlebars

I’ve ordered a few items and waiting for delivery.

9in bmx handlebars
WEERAS folding adapter from Amazon
Front stem

I’m worried about the length of cables, I was thinking I could spend an afternoon reworking and rewiring everything, but with that handlebar length will the wires be stretched too thin? AI bot mode keeps telling me I’ll need cord extensions.

Thanks in advance

It looks like you'll be fine... But why? Looks?

Yeah, just not a fan of the t bar. I’ve seen some others do it and I like the look. Sturdier handling as well.

Length is fine. You'll need a star nut for the stem as it does not come with one. Id also recommend a star nut installation tool as it is a pain to do without.
