What could go wrong?

[stuckathuntermtn]

I mean, come on!

I wonder if they'll custom fabricate some 1,000mm bars for the full 1 meter goodness. Or maybe a yard. 36" bars. You could hit every tree!

At least learn to spell your racial epithets correctly.

[zion zig zag]

Is guinea pig a racial term?

[Game Over]

Don't they eat Guinea pigs in SA?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guinea_pig

"Biological experimentation on guinea pigs has been carried out since the 17th century. The animals were frequently used as model organisms in the 19th and 20th centuries, resulting in the epithet "guinea pig" for a test subject, but have since been largely replaced by other rodents such as mice and rats. They are still used in research, primarily as models for human medical conditions such as juvenile diabetes, tuberculosis, scurvy, and pregnancy complications."

If you're going to buy eBay carbon bars, at least get the ones with enve logos

Hahaha, nice.

I asked what the rise was on the riser bars and he told me 7 degrees...

[stuckathuntermtn]

I tried to clarify my question and I got 31.8 bar diameter in response.
Really feel confident these could last 1 or 2 bunny hops in the driveway. Definitely not 3.

I dissected a guinea pig freshman year of high school in biology class. Is formaldehyde safe?

[stuckathuntermtn]

The seller cannot tell me what I am asking, lol.

Can't return it for a refund if you're dead.

[stuckathuntermtn]

The wider one might be a little burlier.
I asked if they torture tested it. I haven't heard back.
I'm sure they could tell me that it has a 31.8 clamp diameter, though. YOU BUY NOW, ROUNDEYE!

Too narrow, don't care. Although the customer service sounds like the lulz.

They make a 600 mm wide bar. Holy shit, you might as well just hold onto the stem.

[creaky fossil]

^^^ 820 mm? okay, that's wide enough, I guess

[Eluder]

Not for me, but the fact that brand name carbon handlebars cost as much as they do is fucking stupid.

FWIW, I just had beers with a family who were all using these fake Enve bars, which they bought on Ali express. That's three regular hard riding mountain bikers, with over a year of use, and all totally satisfied. Dad was also on carbon rims, and the teenage son on a carbon frame, all from the same source. They're claiming these are "third shift" products, rather than inferior copies.

[stuckathuntermtn]

I thought Enve stuff was all made in the US?

[jamal]

The wheels are, pretty much everything else is outsourced. I thought the same thing until they had that recall on forks.

And my whisky carbon bars weren't all that expensive, especially compared to road carbon bars.

[stuckathuntermtn]

Cool

[grskier]

So yeah... I need new bars... Anything decent on the ebids
