Super cheap road bars on Wiggle for £10.

Will I die? Seems cheap...

All the brand x stuff I have used in the past have been fine. Just straight forward good value IMO

Don't know about the drop bars but I have some Brand X risers that are decent.

I've just ordered 2 brand x stems, the enduro one was lighter than anything this side of a Renthal, and quarter of the cost or less.

Have had some Brand X stuff before and it's been fine. Hope the stems are too as I value my teeth!

Brand X stuff is always good looking, well made and cheap in my experience. I'd go for it.

Built up a bike on a real budget earlier this year with a Brand-X headset. Absolutely fine about 2000km in. Sealed cartridge bearings for £12.
I'm not fussed by the name on it, certainly not enough to spend £40 on a Cane Creek or £80 on a Hope one..

There's a slightly dearer (£13) one on PX that has a shorter reach which I think I'll prefer.

Got a brand x riser on my Krampus which has been fine - no worries about it here.

I have Brand X carbon bars. They are sound.
