parking 12s / disadv. of a round bar
is it possible to park 12s on a round bar?

i'm pretty sure its not but i just wanna make sure.

are there any other disadvantage of a round bar instead of a 12?

Uhh, both the tire and bar are rounded, and those are the only parts of the bike touching the ground, so unless you got some sort of other component touching the ground, you can't park a 12 with a round bar.

Re: parking 12s / disadv. of a round bar
park and walk away, no

but you can park a bike on anything (bar, roundbar, tail, subframe) and come to a stop and get off but u still have to hold it up, you just cant walk away from it (i wouldnt walk away from some people's square bars anyway, lol)

if you scrape it enough so it has a large flat spot you can leave it if u dare.

Re: parking 12s / disadv. of a round bar
in learning circles, the edges of my flat bar used to catch/ hit often. With the round bar, a lot more clearance. Obviously some one skilled enoough would have no problem with either. i'm just a squid trying to learn. just my two cents.

Re: parking 12s / disadv. of a round bar
I made a round bar with maybe 2 inches flat spot in the middle...works nice...but you can park on anything like Legion said...
