Nice flux dude, that color is really popping this year as they all are, not sure what DTs popping into his paint but it sure is the bizz!
Im not trying to knock your specc or Syntace and not having one Im no expert on them, last I had was with my Cracknfail and I never run standard stems out comes my Kore Elite, which I still have
My concern is about support and fatigue of a bar over time with such little support from the face clamps, it may be strong it may be light, that dosen't mean it supports the bar and makes a strong interface there or dispersers loads, esspecially with carbon and another brands where tolerances may or may not be so accutate, something to be careful of, ya know what appens when ya over tighten a seat clamp on a carbon post.
There's little load dispersion and alot of tortional stress in that area. I know carbon can be 10 times stronger than alloy yadyada Ive used and broken carbon for many years and a big fan for the right applications and know how stress and what usually causes breakages, its not a strength issue but load dispersion and impact imo.
Probably talking through a hole in my head but I wouldn't run one thats me, one broken neck is enough and I'd rather do that myself, cost vs weight or saftey is a non issue for me I'd rather go without than save a few bucks on my saftey, I don't care about injuries Im no wuss I just hate the recoveries
Anyway like I said its only my opinion not knocking your choices, also different choices for different elements!
Enjoy that puppy, good to see some comeback Flux's appearing..:thumbsup:
