Li Mu Bai Posted September 12, 2012 Share in a nutshell , grease with grit in it .so you dont have to over tighten the carbon to stop it slipping and it wont creak .actually its a paste (grease) with tiny plastic beads in it. it reduces the gap between parts so that creaks are diminished and less torque is needed to tighten (i still tighten to recommended kn with a torque wrench.)heres a link for more info:http://www.competiti...-paste_388.htmlhttp://www.tacx.com/...pasta/index.dot Edited September 12, 2012 by Li Mu Bai Keithc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted September 12, 2012 Share So my first 24hrs of Wiensenhof a good odd years ago a certain William Kieth was riding on a set of carbon bars. On a rather "quick" DH section the bars snapped, Mr Kieth then bought a great plot out on the trail and looked like he had had been dragged over a man sized cheese grater. Mr Kieth sent his wife off to his bike shop to go and fetch him another bar so that he could continue his race. I would love a Carbon Easton Haven bar, but the thought scares the living day lights out of me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lukep Posted September 12, 2012 Share I have the Easton bars and they are super strong.Stronger than any ali bars I have ever owned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted September 12, 2012 Share Still they weigh less than most carbon bars I don't wanna know why though... I like my stuff over-engineered. Plus, I would be stoopid to go weight-weenie. I've got more than enough shedding to go on for myself, before I start shelling out $$$$ for a lighter steed.

awesme Posted September 12, 2012 Share it's like riding with cell phone in back pocket, as you go over the bars, the remember to fall on side jumps into mind. G Just remember to fall sideways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peewee1 Posted September 12, 2012 Share http://www.finishlineusa.com/products/product-images/Fiber_Grip_Family_th.jpg I think you just need to see what your bike shop has in stock. Cav' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cav' Posted September 12, 2012 Share I'll phone around tomorrow and see, a small sachet would be fine i reckon (a tub is overkill) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peewee1 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Yeah I bought that tube which was over R120, you only need a bit so a little sachet is cool for 1 or 2 applications. It does have an abrasive action so just be careful sliding your bar around in the clamp. Cav' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Unit Posted September 13, 2012 Share or... if you go big spender, have a look at the Enve carbon bars. DH world champs was won on a set of Enve carbons Patches, you seem wise in the ways of internet commerce - where do I source Enve bling? Seems a bit scarce. (I'm looking for a stem and a flat bar.)
