Cut them up into 4 pieces and toss in the bin.

 

 

NOOOOOOO......

 

..........mount bars and use as bike rack against wall.

You could do that too - but in my house that would turn me into a soprano in a flat second...

Hi Guys,

 

i have a set of carbon road bars that seem to have a crack in them.

the crack in in the drop area.

 

the image of the bars below is just to show where the crack is.

the crack is effectively where the guys thumb is.

 

the actual bars are difficult to photograph. i'll try again tomorrow with some sunlight

 

what are your thoughts on repairing carbon bars?

think it is safe?

or just not worth the risk?

I would still be a soprano - wife would be sure to attempt castration manually.... she don;'t think bikes are art....

I got lucky this year with carbon mtb bar that came off in my hand. Don't tempt fate.

 

Seems like a very odd place to go, must have been crash related

 

fell 3 years ago in the Etape du tour in France 2013.

never noticed as that part of the bar is always wrapped in tape.

 

on a side note, if you ever get the chance do the Marmotte.

Best race/ride i have ever done!
