Not a ton of details in the video, but basically, gave the bar to his friend and it broke shortly after.

Design wise it doesn't look great to have the cable exit right up close to the area of greatest force. If you look at the EC90 (https://eastoncycling.com/products/ec90-aero-bar), cable exits in a similar place, but further back on the bar:

But, other manufacturers do have cable exiting in the middle, so I'm sure main problem was somewhere else.

Buy direct from usual reputable makers. If going for an Ali seller, then go for OG Evkin.

A lot of Toseek stuff is total crap, and as cheap as it is for very good reason.
