any and all single track
Duration Product Used:
3 months
Price Paid:
$50.00
Purchased At:
eBay
Strengths:
very light, totally rigid yet dampens small vibrations
Weaknesses:
not good for night rides!!
Similar Products Used:
various aluminum bars
Bike Setup:
full boinger with two wheels (rubber side down)
Bottom Line:
this bar is GREAT for most rides. very light and rigid but smooth as silk. the only problem that I noticed is during my night rides; my bar mounted light system vibrates so much it's like trying to ride with a strobe light out front. damn near impossible to ride a fast technical, rocky downhill. This is because the carbon fiber absorbs the trail vibrations but you can see it being transmitted through the light at night. I guess you can't get the best of both worlds.
