There may not be a simple answer to this, but I’m looking for a flat bar option for a carbon forked hardtail.
Years ago On-One used to make a range of bars specifically for rigid bikes that had noticeable buzz absorbing properties; these days everything seems to be about stiffness.
Thomson do silly money titanium flat bars (even heavily discounted at CRC they’re really pricey) but Bike Radar’s review suggests that they’re no more comfortable that a decent alloy bar.
Are there any flat bar options that stand out for rigid bikes? I’ve prefer alloy over carbon (as I’d like a silver bar and would want to use bar ends) but anything considered.
