Title: Syncros Fraser iC SL / Scott Spark 900 handelbar 90$ instead of 399$
Post by: Colt__Seavers on July 12, 2020, 05:59:29 AM: Hi guys, I found an older topic of ullicyc integrated handlebars, but that was too general and from one year ago, so here a new one.

I found this on AliE and it has the exact same values as the standard version of the Syncros Fraser handlebar which Scott uses for their Spark 900 for example.
I ordered that one and will let you know ones is here.

Update:
This version is an 1:1 copy the seller said. That's why it is the most expensive one. Even the stated weight is the same.

Post by: carbonazza on July 12, 2020, 08:23:59 AM: Someone posted an MTBR link here recently, that drove me to ULLICYC this morning too.

I'm eyeing this one since:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32967312663.html

But as I'm not sure of the stem length I'll need on the FM936, I didn't order yet.

Post by: theirishrider on July 12, 2020, 10:50:52 AM: Carbonazza, I too am (almost) finished the ordering of the FM936. And too am looking at thse ULLICYC bars. I'm a mechanical engineer and my opinion is that the bars here, https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32967312663.html, are going to have a point of high stress in that sharp corner where it joins the steerer tube. It's plausible that the force needed to break the bars is higher that is ever normally seen, but I personally will be avoiding them. Thought I'd give my 2c.

I think I will order these:

I was thinking the same thing xD I was thinking 60mm for size L and I'm 185cm. wbu?

Post by: Colt__Seavers on July 13, 2020, 07:38:09 AM: I ordered the 60mm version (as short as possible) for the FM936 in XL. I'm 196cm in height. But I want to sit in the most very upright position to nurse by back problems. Hope this was the right decision. I'm going for a seatpost with no setback as well, so don't know if this was the right decision.

The seller told me it's a 1:1 copy of the Syncros so in this more expensive Version there should be no sharp edges from steerer to bar. Be sure I will beat the shit out of that handlebar to test it, before riding one meter.

I'll go for the 60mm one too. ahah be curious to hear how stiff it will be. Please update us! Good luck with the back!

Post by: zilcho on July 16, 2020, 08:02:20 PM: I ordered this set in 60x780 for Garmin. They can do no logo if you request it. This went on my size large FM936.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33011313011.html?spm=2114.12010612.8148356.1.f2e01291oMIj4D

So far the bars have been fine but the carbon top cap included in the bundle is garbage. They are extremely stiff. Right now I have 22.5mm of spacer under the bars and 2.5mm between the bar and Garmin mount so that I can rotate it forward more. As far as fit, I might end up ordering just the bars in a 50 or even 40 stem length.

Bad copy and paste - could have sworn i check it lol. Nope I didn't, going to see the ETA on my frame then order because I don't want to be waiting around for bars to arrive.

Post by: Colt__Seavers on July 23, 2020, 02:04:11 PM: I'm really psyched to see the quality of this copycat. The pictures look exactly like the Syncros one. Also the regions where the brakes and grips sitting seem to be rough and all spacers and Garmin mount is also included like in the real deal.
Unfortunately I have to wait a few weeks now. The biggest flaw of AliE
Title: Re: Syncros Fraser iC SL / Scott Spark 900 handelbar 90$ instead of 399$
Post by: Colt__Seavers on July 28, 2020, 03:39:15 PM: N E W S ! ! ! IT'S HERE!
Yes, it only took 8 days via DHL from China. Don't know why they took DHL to ship it but I'm more than happy they did. Maybe that's why the price is around 90$ instead of 50$ like most of the other offers.

Unfortunately I don't have the real deal Fraser iC SL at hand to compare, so this can't be a 1:1 comparison. But comparing it to pictures on the net it's a 1:1 copy by all means. Even the spacers and top cap looks the same! All lettering come painted and most of it is covered by a protection foil for transit.

The bar came with a padded wrapping and no cardboard box, but no damage. The bar itself should live through some serious beating on a bike, so why not putting it in a plastic bag with foam wrap. Very minor paint/Gelcoat/resin chipping in the bottom of the steerer clamp. Nothing serious, just cosmetic. Will be covered by the spacers afterwards. The item description says titanium screws, can't tell thought if it's the case. Anybody knows the weight of m5x30 A2 or Ti?
The weight matches the original perfectly. Can't really tell if this is really a copycat or the real deal. Maybe it's 2nd quality parts from the same company which sells the bar to Syncros.

Tomorrow I'll do the clamp test on a fork with 5Nm. Unfortunately can't try out the sturdiness, as the bike build hasn't started yet.

I'll uploaded pictures tomorrow, because the restrictions here forbid to upload pictures bigger than 512K size

Post by: Colt__Seavers on July 29, 2020, 05:11:56 AM: I just did the installation test to a laying around fork.
the seat is pretty snug, but with pushing and turning the bar at ones, you can travel it down the steerer. Applied 5Nm with no problem. At the beginning of tightening there was a short noise which could have been a cracking noise, but I think it was a setting noise of the round metal inserts had to align with the screws. No cracks or abnormality visible after deinstallation.
What I could see was the milled steerer hole is not 100% round, so you have areas where the steerer rubs and others where there seems to be a very minor gap. You can't see the gap so when bar in installed. I turned the steerer inside the handlebar a couple of times to produce some rubbing marks. I will grind these visible rubbing areas a little with 400 grid sandpaper to have a better alignment between handlebar and steerer. Maybe this will also be fixed by applying carbon paste.

Weighted one of the screws compared to a A2 I had laying around screw and what I can tell is, screws are steel and not titanium. Will contact the seller and ask to send me titanium screws or comopensate for them.

Pictures are following. Haven't found a method to upload more than six pictures with high resolution (>512K size).

I'll either upload the photos to and IMG sharing platform or will downsize them to 500K. Second one might last longer here in the forum. IMG sharing platform tend to delete pictures too quickly

Sure thingy.

Right now I'm thinking about sand the black paint off that bar to have the carbon visible. But unfortunately I will sand off the pre sand covered regions where the levers go. Not really necessary to have that though, I could just use carbon paste. But I fear I have to sand off like 0.1mm or so and grips and levers won't fit like a charm anymore.

Can you link the model you ordered? I didn't see any that came with the shaped spacers. Also, the clone I ordered did not come with any markings on the bar for stem length, torque spec, or width cut guides. Possibly because I requested matte black with no logo?

Thanks

Maybe. Sell it on eBay and get this one, which I ordered:

Look at the appendix that shows the one I've chosen.
Everything like spacers included. Also Garmin mount which I haven't shown yet.

Yeah until I found this piece of a bargain I also wanted to get my stem painted. Now I'm thinking of either sanding this handlebar or painting it the same color like the frame.

Title: Re: Syncros Fraser iC SL / Scott Spark 900 handelbar 90$ instead of 399$
Post by: Le Duke on November 15, 2020, 06:43:55 PM: I ended up order one in 80mm, -25, 740mm.

Kind of perplexed by the appearance. Does not really resemble the "Nino" handlebar. Much more curvaceous, for lack of a better word, instead of the more angular appearance that his handlebar has. The other, cheaper versions of this bar actually bear a closer resemblance to the Syncros bar, with the main difference being the barrel nuts used on this one and the cheaper version using nuts molded into the stem/bar.

I'm wondering if the -17 degree option bears more of a likeness to the original version.

Also, I could not get my right side shifter (Gripshift) onto the handlebar. I'm asking the seller to resolve it; we'll see what happens.

I read a review from a user who raced and trained XCO with an ullicyc fraser handlebar for 2-3 years without a single issue. He was very satisfied with it so i'm absolutley considering it, even tho there are some reviews which arent great.

I can't find any seller. Maybe Carbonda will sell it as they are a subsidiary of Flybike (if i'm not mistaken)

Edit: I've e-mailed Adam @ Carbonda about it.

Did he mention something about having holes to pass cables through ?
From the drawing there is something, but not sure.

That was the same with me then via PostNL & eventually B-post (and then customs)

Damn! You won that race :D
The computer mount is a bit long.
Isn't it designed to be cut and use the other hole?

A small question.
Do you see the light through the mount holes ?
I'm looking to pass a wire through one of the holes.

I have yet to build the HTbike, but I'm afraid geometry is a personal thing ...

Ah, didn't know you were building a new bike. That's ofc something different than upgrading from an existing stem/handlebar.

Post by: theirishrider on March 25, 2021, 07:58:19 AM: For this OG-Evkin ba: If the setback is 35mm and the bar is 65mm stem, the effective stem length is 30mm right?
Title: Re: Syncros Fraser iC SL / Scott Spark 900 handelbar 90$ instead of 399$
Post by: carbonazza on March 25, 2021, 09:13:21 AM: Just one note.
If you plan to put it on a frame without spacers, the inside screw contact with the headset cap.
So you have to decide between a 10mm spacer, or no mount.
And another one... to disassemble the mount, you need to remove the bar from the fork to access that screw. Not a big deal, but booh ::)

How is your mount going ?
Where did you cut it ?

I did attach a GoPro mount below, to attach my Lupine Wilma light.
However the mount is too flexy, and the light is bouncing all around when riding at night.
The other mount OG-Evkin is selling to attach to the face plates of the stem is much more rigid. Too bad :-\

6+ month review, other than needing lots of carbon paste they have been working great.
I have two of this ULLICYC model - https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2251832780997911.html since 11/2022. One on a 140/140 trail bike and the other on a 29+ carbon rigid.
