Wouldn’t tocuch one again!
Mate of mine snapped his at the stem whilst landing heavy on the front wheel, cracked his full face helmet and broke/chipped his elbow – that was a Truvative Team one.
He advised me agianst getting one but I just put it down to Truvative sticking their name on some piece of crap that was manufactured by some no-name 3rd party………I was getting an Easton Monkeylite XC so had a bit more faith in it. Whilst fittting it, using a Park torque wrench, I heard a crack:(( Upon inspection I could feel but not see a small indentation mark following the outline od the stem face plate.
Maybe mine was just a dodgy one, or my torque wrench isn’t up to much (i dont believe that tho) – whsatever the reasons there are just some things that I think its better to carry an extra few grams for, be it shimano skewers or aluminium bars – would not go near a carbon bar again.
