Jakkals77 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Hi All Im looking for a Easton ec70 carbon mtb flat handlebar. I could purchase one from Chain Reactions and the like, but I would prefer to buy it in SA. My LBS says there isn't stock at the moment, but I'm sure someone must have somewhere? What's a good alternative to the Easton EC70? These are the specs I'm looking for. Material: CarbonWidth: 720mmBack Sweap: 8 or 9 degreesRise: None or max 10mm riseClamp Diameter: 31.8mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madbradd Posted April 21, 2015 Share Truvative Noir? I have the 700mm flat 10 degree I think. Then there's a low rise 720mm as well but I think it's a 20 mm rise. Loaded also have some nice ones and there's always the Thomson stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King_Crispy Posted April 21, 2015 Share Ask Naas from Evobikes to source you one. I waited for 6 months for one, but he persisted and got me one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loaded also have some nice ones and there's always the Thomson stuffI have the Loaded bar on my SS. Beautiful looking bar, and super stiff. Real bling, but I don't know if there's a local stockist of Loaded anymore. Buycycle.co.za used to stock, but not sure if they still do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakkals77 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Sounds like the Easton bars are still the benchmark bar that other bars gets measured against. Maybe its worth the time to wait for the Easton? Are they really that much better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they really that much better?Bear in mind FSA and Truvativ won't cost much over a thousand Rondts!Stiff, and light. Not sure why Easton is considered 'better'?

My son crashed his brains out on the sidewalk in Umdloti tonight. His FSA bars survived 100%. Maybe I should re-evaluate my FSA position? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
