That debate is somewhat useless when we use common sense. Setup your shifters and brake levers loose enough that they can move on the bar in a crash - simple. You are far from "overtightened" at that point.
thank you.........why anything on your bars (minus lock-ons) would be tight enough to potentially damage them is a bad sign to start.
and i could really care less about the 70 grams, it's the feel of carbon bars that sold me. aluminum is ridged and resonates high frequencies, carbon on the other hand has a thicker wall and resonates much less and lower. Easier on the hands IMO.
