from mount tamborine Date Reviewed: November 22, 2005 Strengths: strength and lack of weight Weaknesses: felt it necesary to machine up some thin (10mm wide at he OD tapering to 3mm wide accross the centre cross section)alloy plugs to go into the bar ends and weighed in at eleven grams for the pair. No hassle there, however, the holes at the ends of the bar are not round and it took longer to fitting them than machining them up.
