Component Deals & Selection / Re: Looking for carbon handlebar

Apologies for reviving an old thread, but I’m curious—what did you end up choosing? I’m looking for something similar, but without the flare or cable integration. Thanks!

After The Ride / Re: Any thoughts on probability of 20% USA tariffs on purchases next year?

Maybe this is a dumb question, but what’s the situation with shipping from China to Canada? I live close enough to Windsor that I could pick up a parcel shipped to a package receiving company. Obviously I would only do it for large purchases, but would taxes and duties be more favorable than shipping to the US?

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Serenade 4550 Wavy Wheelset SUB 1200g steel spokes 500USD

Any thoughts on the performance of these wheels in cross winds?

I'm interested in getting a pair of either these Serenades, or another set of wavy/undulated wheels from xmcarbonspeed, LightCarbon, Farsports, or Yuanan. However, I'm skeptical that there's been any real testing to prove they improve performance in cross winds. The aesthetics do not match my bike very well, so if there is not a performance benefit, I'll probably just purchase a more traditional 50mm rim.

From what I can see, the Light Bicycle Falcon Pro and Elite Wheels Drive Helix seem closest to the Zipp and Princeton designs, but they're out of my price range.
