Recommendations for integrated handlebar?
« on: July 31, 2023, 06:46:03 AM »
Looking to upgrade one of my older road bikes with a integrated handlebar, mostly for the looks and feel. Bike is only used for light training on flats and indoors traning in the winter. Wanted spec: 380 wide, 90 stem and "modern/compact" with short reach to bends.

Been looking at below items - any recommendations/warnings on theese or others?

I think the Kocevlo and the last one are the same.

It is also the handlebar I am expecting to be included with my Hygge Model S frame that I hope to receive next week... So hopefully the quality will be OK  :)

I had a second look and I agree, the handlebars and accessories look identical. However the Kocevlo one does not specify if T1000 as Ullicyc.

Are they a good option? Reviews seem fine.

Would not surprise me if they just use the word T1000 to get more sales...

I have no experience yet with it, so I can't comment. But if the reviews are good (you have to specifically search for bad ones to see if there could be a problem with it) you could take the leap. Maybe search for some youtube reviews to learn a little bit more...

I have that kocevelo bar/stem, in 380x80mm. Have about 500km on it so far on my velobuild 099. The inner steerer surface was painted and wouldn't fit on the velobuild steerer tube. So I had to dremel/sand down the inside a tiny bit so it would fit nicely. Not sure if they're all like that or it was just a bad combination of generous tolerances from vb and kocevelo. It came with a variety of plastic spacers and headset pieces. Was a little tricky for cable routing but every one of these combo bars is. Doesn't seem flexy but I'm not putting down insane watts and only weight 130lbs.

For 100$ I'm super happy with it. Here's a couple pictures:

The Kocevlo and Ullicyc are the same bar and they are both copies of The One Pro with a different clamp design, but the stem and bars are the same. I bought both The One Pro and Kocevlo bars and they are identical apart from the steerer clamp. The One Pro were about 25g lighter (370g vs 395g); whether that's the clamp design (likely) or a different carbon layup, I couldn't tell any difference between the two. In the end, I went with the Kocevlo due to being half the price. They've been on my bike since May (you can search my posts) and I've raced them a dozen times or so. I like them and would buy again. They're plenty stiff for me and I'm around 85kg and can put out 1600W peak in a sprint. No flex I can feel. Finish is on par for AliEx bars and I don't have any safety concerns even at my weight. I ran mech 1x and now Di2, no issues with cable routing apart from the usual annoyances of fully internal bars. Couldn't tell you if they could handle 2x mech but they look to have ample room albeit a little tight.



For my main road bike, I have the Black Inc. copies. I paid around $80 and honestly, these are my favorite bars ever. They weigh 335g for 120/40 so not the lightest by any means. But they are a great bar. They have a little groove on the underside so I don't route internally but the cables remain mostly hidden. They aren't as flat on the tops but have an oval shape which I find super comfy riding on the tops and I wrap all the way to the stem. Stiff enough for my tastes as well. My only complain is the weight as I was looking to save grams, but even at that weight I haven't found a replacement that's better so they've been on for close to 2 years now.

Did anyone tried those MCELO handlebars? I am looking for something with -17 degree stem to lower my stack on a Gravel bike. The seller told me that this one is -16. But you know don't know if can be trusted. On the auction of the mcelo frame on the bike pictures it does not look that steep but on drawings it says - 16. Funny that they don't inlcude those drawings with angle on handlebar auction.

Would be cool if someone here used it and can tell something about them.

I have the Ryet ones, both integrated with one being gravel the other road. Pretty good so far with no issues.

I have a set of the Ryet/Lexon bars and I'm very happy with them. They're stiffer and the finish on them is nicer than my yoeleo bars. Cable routing was fairly easy as well.

Which version of the Ryet bars are these? I have the og-evkin hb1300 in 38/100 and they feel super flexy, especially on the indoor trainer. Also I don't trust og-evkin really after hearing about their no warranty process. I really like the look of these ryet ones.

Using not quite accurate method of "hold a stem up to the screen", the top slope of the stem does seem to be close to a -17, but the 100mm bars pictures end up placed nearly identically to where they be FSA ACR -6 90mm stem would place them. The Kalloy Uno -7 100 actually seems lower and longer with this method than the MCELO bars.

MCELO aren't the only ones not being accurate with this though. Specialized with the SL7 stems are lower than you would think due to not accounting for a 7-8mm drop and their 31mm stack height. the -12 is is functionally equivalent to the classic designed -17 stem. Its slightly lower for the 110mm, 120mm, 130mm sizes inclusive of their adapter. I don't know about the 140mm, but i think the -17 would be slightly lower at that length.

What I am noticing is most of these bars have pretty severe stem angle. I wanted something in 6-8 degree range. These two Ryet bars do have that angle...considering them for an upcoming build involving Yoeleo R12.

and

The first one seems to have cable port similar to Velobuild's stem and is a stuff of nightmare. Leaning towards the second one for that reason which has wider cable opening. Also like the stubby GPS mount on it.
