So... this style bar (I just Googled the image online):
I have read here and there on MTBR that some have broken this bar.
My question to those of you who have, how did you break it?
Basically, for those who have broken the bar do you feel it just the design that failed you or that you pushed the bar more than what it was designed to do?
I'd like to know if you were running rigid forks, riding style, terrain, rider weight.
I have recently been trying this bar and really dig the position, but I am leery of it snapping off. Just trying to figure out what pattern (if any) is leading to these bars failing.
