Re: Lightweight Carbon Handlebars (non-integrated) and a climbing wheelset recs? I'm happy with the RXL handlebars. They have the same geometry as 3t ergonova handlebars. Though they are light (sup200gr), they are plenty of stiff for me. I have them on 3 bikes (road, gravel). For reference: I'm 75kg and race bikes.  On a sidenote: I once bought the wrong size and as a test, I tryied to break (i.e. by smashing on the ground)-> I gave up, they were rock solid.
Search for "RXL SL 31.8mm Carbon Drop Bar Road Bicycle Handlebar" and you'll find them.

For wheelset: have a look at light-bicycle or farsports. They make custom wheels such that you can choose rim, hub, spoke etc as you desire. Around 1000USD you have plenty of options to go lightweight.

How are the Easedon climbing wheelset? Looking at this brand too because I'm building up a lightweight Aethos.

No complaints. My climbing wheelset was a little over 1100g and that's with 12k glossy. They might come in at less weight if you go with matte. Paired mine with some lightweight Panaracer Agilist 25c tires and a Goldix lightweight cassette. I haven't touched my granny gear since getting them. I'm impressed with out of saddle feedback from the wheels, especially at 30mm. They feel stiff and hold power very well for such a shallow depth.

Easedon also has store coupons you can stack with AliEx sale coupons. The seller responds quickly and it took less than a month for delivery. I took a chance ordering from they because of their pricing, prompt messaging and positive customer feedback.

Re: Lightweight Carbon Handlebars (non-integrated) and a climbing wheelset recs? these flyweight rims are amazing.  they are designed as XC rims but too narrow for modern standards.  i am 100kg and have them build up as road wheels.  these rims, novatec hubs and pillar psr xtra spokes are 1050g.  i have ordered 3 sets so far and all have been at or under the 280g advertised weight.   if the link does not work search "fly weight carbon rim"

i found the bars to be great too.  very light and stiff.  they are on the same bike as the rims.  if the link does not work search "Kocevlo SL Road Carbon handlebar"  mine were right on weight wise.

Re: Lightweight Carbon Handlebars (non-integrated) and a climbing wheelset recs? I'm running RXL aero bars at 38cm that come in at 200g. I'm running the flared version because I like stability on the downhill and they give me more OOS leverage on the climbs. I paired them to a lightweight UNO stem that come in at 90g w/titanium stem screws. 290g with aero bar+stem. You can go with lighter bars, but you'll lose the aero tops which are a bit more comfortable for hand positioning.
