Just received a new PNW Loam carbon handlebar. Recently been getting numb hands and with $40 off right now, I thought I’d give them a try.
I’m in no rush to install or have them installed and have 30 days to exchange them (which for me means quite a few sets of grips or another Range model handlebar)
Any way, some stupid questions..
Life span of carbon bars in general?
Users have any regrets?
I’m an xc rider; small hops and the like but never huck to flat or sending off drops. However I’m a bigger rider at 240 #.
Are carbon bars all hype or definitely worth it for hand numbness and better vibration damping??
I have read the threads on here about cutting carbon bars and notice that some of you cut with hack saw and not the specific carbon blade by park tools.
How’s that been for ya?
Any one regret riding carbon bars?
Thanks for your time
