Do yours not flex slightly on the ends if you push down on the bars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izak Posted July 22, 2014 Share Do yours not flex slightly on the ends if you push down on the bars?Nope not at all, they are extremely stiff and I think only weigh 120g.I ride quite hard and like to do some trail riding with this bike as well and have not (touch wood) had any issues.

Martin PJ Posted July 22, 2014 Share Is anyone running a imported 700mm Wide MTB Bar?I have one I bought on Ebay for pretty cheap. Scared to use it. It does look very nice. Edited July 22, 2014 by martinpe GS Sport 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GS Sport Posted July 22, 2014 Share Maybe I should rather ask: Has anyone had one of these bars fail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamL1220 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Does anyone know where I can get a rear axle .... Preferably to fit an FM057 .. ? CWC had the alero ones... Not sure if they still do, but no longer on their website.You need the 12mm shimano style axle which is threaded with a nut on the end as the frame isnt threaded.

Martin PJ Posted July 22, 2014 Share Why did you buy bars if you are scared to use them?I am building up a bike for someone to use riding the beachfront in Durban. Going to use them on that bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izak Posted July 22, 2014 Share I am building up a bike for someone to use riding the beachfront in Durban. Going to use them on that bike.Riding or cruising? Even a cheapy carbon bar won't just break from normal riding.Take it offroad or start doing trick riding with it and you might be more concerned.
