I guess that is where my hesitation has been. RXL, Kocvelo, etc. Are those dropbars tested (by end users) and reliable. I’m very familiar with UNO Kalloy stems. That’s the type of product I find AliExpress really good for. I just wasn’t sure if the carbon bars were to be trusted.
For record, I ride a lot mostly for fitness but enjoy training for competitive events. Not putting down massive watt sprints but I do some standing climbs and short burst intervals. Right now I’m running Zipp service course 80 bars. They are about 285-300g. At 38cm the width is right but I need a 70cm drop. Figured this would be a good opportunity to drop 100g off my bike.
