Dammit!
Lovely bars. Look soooo nice on my Ragger Ti. Felt lovely swooping through the trees round The Cleave this weekend 😆

Mine arrived this morning. Love PSAs like this.
use carbon assembly paste
How many people do this?
I've only ever used it on an alu seat post in a carbon frame but now you've got me wondering!
use carbon assembly paste
How many people do this?
I do, mostly because I was told to by my LBS when I got the first set of carbon bars a few years back- and he managed to sell me some carbon paste as a result. Probably used about 0.05% of the tube in five years ( that may be a slight underestimate, but you get my drift...)
The instructions say to use carbon paste on the stem/bar interface but does not say to use on bar furniture .
It does say max torq for levers 3nm, but to tighten stem to torq settings provided by your stem manufacturer.
Which I think on my turbine is 7 of the top of my head which I thought may be excessive, but will follow when I get around to fitting.
Anyone recommend a torque thingy which goes low enough for these?
ritchey torque key, ~£14 at various outlets.

Thanks, but looks like 4 and 5 nm only? Post above says 3nm needed for the brakes etc. 🙁 Does 1nm make any difference? I have no idea what that actually is.
TBF I do brakes and shifters barely tight by feel anyway- so they rotate in a stack, not so they don't crush my bars.
3Nm is roughly about how tight you can go using the short arm of an allen key with the long arm in the screw head, unless you are a gorilla.
Hopefully mine come through, order is still processing.
They appear to be back to £39.99 now. Nice.
Great. Thanks for posting that. I came to ordering some late last week and was miffed to see them double the price.
Mine have arrived, got the order to just over £50 so got another £5 off
Mrs M's have arrived, they look very nice, as she hasn't paid for them yet I think they might go on my bike instead.
no no dear put the frying pan down I was only joking.............
Mine got cancelled as it was out of stock 🙁
Just to add to this PSA, CRC have Haven Stems for £24 to match your new bars - only in Silver though:
