Just wondered

me.

why are you wondering?

Me.

BBB ones.

only on my HT!

Who rides with Carbon bars?

Is “Carbon bars” someone off here?

I have some lovely FSA ones.

Me,

I got some on mine,

Race Face SIXC ones.

I just got some then read some posts about them snapping etc, now I’m a bit scared!

You need to wonder about more interesting things.

Yep, have done for years. Why?

yep

Salsa Pro Moto 17deg sweep here

yep, have done for around 5 years. Every material breaks it’s in the manufacturing not the material 🙄

I had some Sunline ones, they were fine for a year then the manufacturer recalled them, so I sent them back.

Yup…

Never had a drama either.. 🙂

Me too. With all the bits seriously overtightened.

Yep. Love them.

Carbon monkeys over here

Yep – cheap Guizzo flat carbons which were lighter than EC90s

What could possibly go wrong?

Easton DH’s for me, bit heavier and wider than standard plus warranted for DH so fine for my mincing.

and me, have done for around 5 years

my xc bike has a carbon bar. Bit too pricey for me usually though.

RaceFace Next SL on my bike and FSA pro on my wife’s

Only by accident – paid for EA70s and received EC70s. Which was nice 🙂

How well they’re made is much more important than what they are made from. Only bars i’ve snapped were cheapo halfords aluminium ones.

ritchey wcs here, no problems.

i dont, yet.
but i will say, im a big heavy guy, and ive used alu bars for years 10+ in some cases, and never had a pair snap or bend.
so, if alu and carbon have similar resistance to cyclic stress they should be fine.
anyway, if they werent safe the government would ban ’em, surely?
not a piss take, btw.

USE Atom XC risers for me on my FS, they loverly.

Can you get White carbon bars?

ooohh, white carbon.
that sounds luurrvlly!

carbon mekey bars here – but at 15st and doing jumps/drops they scare me in a back of the mind kind of way.
