    Would you run this carbon bar?

    Considering that more or less half of those that posted here has seen more than one carbon bar breaking, then the amount of broken carbon bars worldwide should to be big enough to make companies rethink about how convenient is to produce and sell things that broke and hurt people. Maybe I'm too...

    Would you run this carbon bar?

    Thanks for the hint about the cyanoacrylate glue! I was about to apply some clear nail polish, as someone suggested, but I'm pretty sure CA glue is way better. The bar was on a bike I bought three years ago, showroom bike, barely used. The bar looked brand new, not trimmed, no scratches, no...

    Would you run this carbon bar?

    What I meant to say is that I have this paranoid feeling on rims while you have it on handlebars. It's not something logical, I know that snapping a bar would have worse consequences than breaking a wheel, it's pretty obvious, but that's how I feel about it. But I'm not saying carbon stuff is...

    I wouldn't say "risk tolerace", I would say "carbon tolerance". I mean, I trust those companies and their products more than you do.

    Would you run this carbon bar?

    Ok, let me add this: I would never, ever, buy and/or use carbon rims. THAT is definitely scary, at least on a DH bike.

    Would you run this carbon bar?

    Sure, I consider that as well, that's why a simple scratch made me thinking if I should keep running it. As I said I didn't buy that bar, it was on the bike I bought, I could even say I wouldn't even bought a carbon bar, because of the price and because the almost non-existent advantage that it...

    Ok, maybe my English is not that good, so what's the point?

    Would you run this carbon bar?

    I asked because I thought there were someone with a minimum knowledge about carbon and bars that could give me a hint. Obviously, I was a little scared of that bar snapping on a big landing, but at the same time I knew it could be just a scratch on the coating. Came out that just a very few...

    What's that? I searched on the internet but didn't find anything.

    Would you run this carbon bar?

    I didn't buy that bar, it came with the bike I bought used. I never thought about spending all that money on a bar, but now that I have it I feel like I'd like to keep it... haha. I made a couple back to back runs on a rough trail with this bar and a PRO alu bar, you can feel the difference...

    Would you run this carbon bar?

    Damn, that's scary, but that bar had to be faulty already when manufactured, broke at the same spot left and right...

    Would you run this carbon bar?

    Don't know how to find that video and maybe I don't even want to see it, but I feel like you're telling me not to run that bar again...

    manitou dorado tuning tips

    Hi all, sorry to revive this old thread. I have the MRD kit on my Dorado and I'd like to try to lower the air pressure in the main chamber and add some in the IRT chamber, does anyone know if I can go lower than the suggested 50psi in main? Did anyone try that?

    Would you run this carbon bar?

    Hi all, Today I started preparing my bike for the coming season and discovered this notch in my carbon handlebar. It probably came from the only big crash I had at the start of the last season, by hitting the top cap of my Dorado fork (I have to run the legs high in the crown because of the long...
