Title: Integrated Handlebars
Post by: charlesrg on February 26, 2019, 10:02:02 PM
Does anyone recommends some Integrated Handlebars ?

I've some from chiner Integrated bars from 2016 but they flex a lot and the Internal cable holes are tight to the point that if I bring the shifters higher to a better ergonomic position it snags the brake cables.

So found some reputable sellers to compare and see if anybody has had good experience with thos:
Pro-Mance:  http://www.pro-mance.com/product-390-490-51629.html
XM Carbon: http://xmcarbonspeed.com/Productinfo.asp?f=1476
DengFu: http://www.dengfubikes.com/BICYCLE_PARTS/249.html and http://www.dengfubikes.com/BICYCLE_PARTS/182.html
Aliexpress

Also considering giving up on integrated and buying this:

One disadvantage I see on an integrated handlebar is if you put it into a bike box for travel.
It is easier to unmount/mount the bar from the stem than the whole stem/bar.

I should forget it, but I'm still traumatized after seeing a crack in my first carbon stem.
So all my stems are stupidly alloy now...

Hey Carbonazza, not sure if it's a big deal for traveling. I did box my MTB for traveling before and it was fine. usually to ship I've to loosen the fork anyway. will see when the need to ship the road arises if ever.

I've been running on carbon integrated handlebars for MTB for about 5 years and have been very happy. never had a problem in the bars despite breaking 3 frames.

I've ordered the aliexpress link I posted before. I've had one before on my super commuter and I'm happy with it.

Very interesting, thanks ! Where did you buy them ?

I've had both of the ones listed here:
http://www.carbonal.com.cn/carbon-mountain-bike/carbon-mountain-bike-handlebars.html

I recommend this model: http://www.carbonal.com.cn/carbon-mountain-bike/carbon-mountain-bike-handlebars/carbon-mountain-bicycle-integrated-handlebar-mhb08.html

The other has too big of a rise. Maybe can be used for downhill.

Thank you for the links.
Can they be ridden in both directions ? Slammed or not ?

Hi, I'm looking for an integrated handlebar, full idden cable, size 420x130.
The frame where I would mount has 1"1/2 headset.
Any suggestions?

Thanks, I saw this, but it doesn't look like it has completely hidden cable routing, right?

I have the KOCEVLO bar you have listed. Only has a few thousand km on it but seems solid so far.

I am 95KG and put out around 1300W sprint, feels fine. Not too flexy on the drops either.

Does weigh more than other bars though.

Can vouch for speeder bars. I have the regular bar, not integrated stem/bar, and it's really good.

These are the ones I install in general, because so far they are the stiffest and lightest I could find.

Road: https://vi.aliexpress.com/item/1005005939677279.html (LEXON, they build frames too but never tried)
Gravel: https://vi.aliexpress.com/item/1005004788375665.html (LEXON)
MTB: https://vi.aliexpress.com/item/1005005611032673.html (FIRE SPIDER the premium brand of Tooseek)

You can see both shops as well, they have other items.

Why the Thin Line Vs the Vero bars from lexon?

I didn't know them, and they look lighter !
Thanks for the information.

Hey could you by any chance measure the dimensions of the spacers that comes with the thin line handlebar?
Seems to be the same as the vero, which I'm considering. But the spacers dimensions aren't listed anywhere.
