Hello!

Do you know anything about this bars?

I want to buy the Hb 010, it's lightweight, has a short reach and cost around 50€....

I gave a look a the carbon stems, really nice, can I trust them?

I've used the HB 010 for about a year. I mostly picked it for the short reach, as that's hard to find on Chinese handlebars. Overall I was very happy with it, so I can recommend it. It was very light and comfortable over rough roads, but obviously not very stiff, so if you're a heavier rider who puts a lot of force through the handlebars, you may want to opt for something that's not focused on low weight.

My only (minor) complaint about it is that the shape is quite triangular. The tops are flattened (which I like), but the bottom of the handlebar isn't entirely round, which, depending on how you fit it and where you put your hands, can cause a bit of a pressure point.

I've also used multiple OG Evkin carbon stems, with good results.
