Are carbon fiber handlebars worth the money? |
I am thinking about purchasing this for my mountain bike. Anybody have opinions about it? Personally, I find carbon bars to be a bit too flexy. Kind of creeps me out. But it is really a matter of taste. You can buy aluminum bars much cheaper that are almost as light, and don't flex. Since most mountain bikes have front suspension at least, road vibration is not really an issue as it would be on a road bike. If you are riding rigid, it might be more of a concern. Also keep in mind with carbon bars that you may not be able to use bar ends, if you normally do, though some come with inserst on the ends so you can. absolutely If you have the money to spend , yes....but they're mostly for looks. Hope everything works out they're really cool, less weight, and reduce vibrations to your hands. experience. Nah.. too expensive, and you can find aluminium bars that are almost as light but more reliable and cheaper... only if you do serious XC riding. the average person wont care about shaving a few grams off the bars. if you ask me, the handlebars are not the best place to shave weight either. i would rather have those strong instead of light |
