This advice was free so you got your money's worth before you finished reading this Just opinion that really means nothing to no one None of the above are based on scientific data, research or fact Than heavy or fragile or improper drop reach carbon bars Meaning light strong better fitting alloy bar more benefit Let me try to help you by first simplifying then providing some guidance and fellow clyde advice.Ĭarbon bars may be more fragile if crashed cause can't see damageĬrashed alloy bars may be able to keep usingĪ good alloy bar may be better for you than a bad carbon bar I wouldn't risk any 'bargain' chinese carbon bars on Ebay, even if they are a 'good deal'. I was looking at Ritchey Evo Carbon and 3T Ergonova (can get a discount from my LBS). I know that carbon bars are far more expensive, and more fragile in terms of possible crash damage, so that is also something I'd be factoring in to my decision. This is an endurance/all-day ride sort of bike, so my primary goals would be. I'm 6' 5" (195cm) and 245lbs (111kg), and have a long torso, so there is a lot of pressure on my hands when I ride. What about cold weather? Any benefits (or concerns) with carbon when its cold (I don't ride much below freezing 32F/0C) Is a carbon bar significantly better at vibration dampening ? I'm not concerned about the weight of the current bars, but I am curious if there is any real benefit in terms of comfort and compliance with a carbon bar vs alloy? I still have all of the original components to re-install, including a 3T alloy handlebar. I'm going to be re-building my 2014 BMC GF-01 soon, once it gets back from Calfee for a chip repair.
