Piss poor finish on Easton ec70 bars….is this normal?

No it’s not.

I for one salute your correct choice of colour and decal

Why thank you.

Normal. Ignore Hora.

You could’ve matched the headset, bottom bracket and seat post clamp

What a lovely ending, looks Purdy.

Needs a dropper!

Needs 15mm axle. ;-d

Oh yeah where’s the closeup pic of bars…?

Wooops! Now I seen page 1 towards end. Yes they are fine apart from being Easton lol.

It’s called uni directional gloss carbon. It’s actually the nicest finish that comes on carbon. Except matt carbon frames.

It’s like on my rims.

Why was my EC70 seatpost not like this or both my carbon Havocs?!!

Coz Matt carbon is more nduro init bruv

Possible you bought fakes?

Nah, Easton parts have been like this since 600m wide bars became gnarrrr

I have 3 carbon haven bars Hora, they are all like this. I like it, it looks jazzy in the sun.

Are they worth it and do they make a difference…..if so which would you recommend?

Well 15mm axles are 15mm axles, take your pick of fork and yes they are worth it.

Imo I miss 20mm, even back in ’99 I had a 20mm axle on my do it all bike no word of a lie.

Learn to love the unfinished semi clear coat carbon. My whole bike looks like that.

Uni-directional carbon is stronger IF you can get the design and analysis spot on so they fibres line up with the forces.

Woven carbon is for when you don’t really know what you’re doing, and it’s heavier too as not all of the fibres will be going the right way so you need more CF 🙂

Not the best photos, but Easton EC70 finish shows up ok
