Light carbon HBR17 integrated bars

[alexgaignard]

Cannot mount my front light because of the positionning of the gopro mount on a 80mm stem :/

Would anyone be able to design a 3D printable adapter from the proprietary 3 bolt to a simpler 2 bolt one ? I could provide measurement of hole spacing for bolt

Hi all,

I'm interested in the HBR17 integrated cockpit/ handlebar. Since I plan to use it for a "light gravel" setup (approx. 80% road, 20% gravel/ hardpack), I wanted to ask for your opinions.
Do you think the layup is strong enough to handle light offroad abuse, or should | look for a dedicated gravel bar instead - maybe HBR08? Any feedback on stiffness vs. comfort would be appreciated.

Cheers!

I've been thinking too if it's possible to create a adapter so you could use 2 bolt computer mount.
I might then get this for my gravel bike.

Feels pretty stiff to me, I'm a heavy rider (100kg) and doing sprints on road I don't feel any flex.

These come shipped with LCR-018D, which is light gravel (38c clearance)


So yes, these would be a good fit
These have a little flare, if you want more you can look into the HBR18, same philosphy, tweaked for more flare (and less reach?)

Has anyone measured that the HBR17 bars are 8mm higher than similar bar without rise?
Or 10mm or more compared to -10 degree bars?

[letsgethurt]

Anyone know how well the stem length matches posted dimensions? The technical drawing is a bit too grainy to see what's really going on and the head angle is missing. If I really squint it appears like the the nominal stem length is actually measured perpendicular to the steering axis to the center of the bars, including the 8mm rise? That way the corresponding traditional stem would be a few mms shorter, no?

Or in other words, I currently ride a -7° 100mm stem and it's a touch too long if I'm doing Z2 and the spacer stack is kinda ugly, so I would maybe want the 100mm HBR17, get two or three mms shorter reach in the X axis and remove spacers by however much the 8mm rise amounts to in the steering axis?

Can anyone comment on the reach and ergonomics of this bar?

I've got an HBR14 380x110. and wheeltop shifters. The wheeltop shifters reach feel so short and I've been trying to see if I can get a couple more mill of space to rest the forearms in the aero position. from the drawings the HBR17 seems a little wider space for the forearms, and the shifter positon seems to curve tighter. which should be better. I just cant tell. reached out to LightCarbon but they weren't able to give me many further details

I currently run the HBR17 on my LCG071 as a Gravel setup, works perfectly fine for me, also on gravel.
I ordered a 100x380. They measure exactly 380(c-c). Also they measure 100 in length. Measurement on the bolt looks off in the picture, but is perfectly centered.
Reach of 75 and angle of -7 also looks to be correct.
I tried to capture the rise, also 8mm rise looks fine for me.
Stiffness and ergonomics is fine.
Also if you are wondering: to get it painted is only 20$ extra
If you anything else, just let me know.
What I don‘t like: Top cap could be more precise (maybe because it is painted). Computer mount faces straight forward, a little tilt towards me would be better. Maybe I need to try the titanium mount.
For comparison: I also have a Vision Metron 5D evo on my roadbike.

Hey i have these bars in 36/90 got about 400km on them, I am pretty light but can put out decent power and havent noticed any flex sprinting or all out hill climbs out the saddle. Arrived nicely packaged and easy to install no issues at all the look cool too.

Eying one of these for my bike.

Everyone still happy with them and would recommend them?

A quick question. I am doubting between the 100 and the 90 as I am trying to reduce slightly my reach (overall). The 8mm "lift" should add a bit less reach, right?

[must3rmann]

Yes still really happy, would recommend.
With the -7° stem angle and 100mm stem length, your horizontal reach is 99,25mm. Assuming the lift will set you to 0° stem angle, your reach is 100mm. So you "gain" 0,75mm in horizontal reach

Im generally happy with mine but don't really enjoy the "rise". The tops are angled down slightly and when I'm riding on the hoods i can feel like my palms are rotating a bit more. No big deal, just my preference and since im switching between the bike with hbr17 and a regular bar and i notice it every time

[Ar26]

For me, it's the opposite. I find the handlebar ergonomics good. The top is flat, and I don't get that palm pinching that some narrow handlebars can cause.

A question for Lightcarbon HBR17 owners...
Is it the same for you, that the fork tube sits slightly crooked in the handlebar clamp, even though it's been cut perfectly straight?

In the attached picture, you can see that the side of the handlebar clamp with the bolt is slightly higher.
