Review on 🚴 Platt Road Handlebar: Full Carbon Fiber 31.8mm Drop Bar - 400/420/440mm Bent Handlebar for Road Bicycles by Chris Shepherd

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Don't even hesitate

Was VERY skeptical. Carbon falls below $50?! It sounded too good to be true, especially considering the ones I was considering were in the $300-$400 range. I took a chance believing I could always get her back. It was easy to put on. Despite other reviews, the stem clamp marks were accurate and they even have marks for the brake levers, eliminating the need to measure both sides to ensure symmetrical placement. It took 30 minutes to swap out the old handlebar and this one and I'm pretty far from a bike mechanic! (Don't forget the Fiber Grip Gel, a little tip I found on YouTube.) Went for a ride yesterday and these bars are SO comfortable! The flattened top makes it very comfortable when you're on top and the carbon absorbs almost all road noise when you're in the drops. I love these bars! You won't find better value for money. Period.

Pros
  • Brings joy
Cons
  • Not fashionable
