How do you like them? I'm looking for a compact bar where the tops are round, not a flatten oval shape. Not liking my FSA wing bars so much anymore. Based on photos, the Zero100 bars appear to have round tops and a nice curve to the drops. Any impressions? Thx.

Nick from VeloNews likes 'em... for SRAM, especially...

I had a pair once, they were crooked.

Mine have been great. They are often super cheap on Ribble, if you like to go that way.

They are my go to bar. I highly recommend based on that and what you are looking for.

No better compact, short reach bar for Campy hoods.

I'm a fan as well.

And since I literally just took a picture of this bike an hour ago, I'll even back up my statement with a picture.

Yes, I too am interested in review on these handlebars. I have heard good things.

I have them on my Colnago. No complaints. I think I am swapping to a Campione bar, but that's just to try something new.

Been riding Deda bars for quite awhile and they seem to work great with Campy ... 215, Newton and now Zero 100 :D

I ride Zero100 bars with 6800 Shifters. There is a really nice transition from the bar to the shifters, I like them the best out of all my handlebars (also use FSA Team Issue and Ritchey Evo Curve)

I've been using them for several years, for a while with DA 7700 and now with Campag Centaur (newer shape)...no issues whatsoever. $55-60 at Ribble as someone pointed out. My favorite compact bar.

I've got some Zero100s and I like 'em just fine.

I've also got some Soma Hwy Ones and I like those too. They come in shiny silver (chrome-like) which is nice for some setups. Hwy Ones have shorter reach and longer drops than Zero100s.

The tops are not really round. They are somewhat flattened on the bottom to accept the cables. Once the cables are installed and the bars taped the tops become "virtually" round.

Which works for me; I like the look and feel.

Been on them now for 6 years - Great bars. Good feel, works well with campy hoods, plenty stiff.

I'm a big fan. They came on my Gaulzetti and while my initial plan was to replace them with the Deda Newton, I liked the Zero100 so much I decided to keep them. They do work great with Campagnolo Ergo levers.

Am I mis-remembering that these had some sort of issue? Like, they'd crack or something? Or maybe that was the stem?

It is vague in my mind, so I may be totally off. If my memory is right, we had a thread on it here.

I shouldn't hold it against them that they work well with Campy, right?:D Anyone run Shimano with them? Do they create a good ramp to hoods?

Thanks all for the replies (even you Campy folks;)).

This looks like it. About stem face plates cracking.

That's the one. Sorry, I got the Deda Zero100 part... just couldn't remember the actual component.

No worries at all. Good info to have.

After riding a bar with a bit of outward flare in the drops, going back to the Deda 100 bars feels odd - the Zero 100s have no flare into the drops.

Really nice compact shape though.

i'm a little late to the party, but they are my favorite bar by far. I had some 3t ergonova's, but they were cramped uptop as the bend was a gradual curve as opposed to the deda's. There's lots of room uptop, and their RHM secret sauce fits' my hands well when in the drops.

Great bars! I use them with Dura Ace 7700 and Dura Ace 9000 and really like the bar/hood transition for both. As has been pointed out, they can be had for cheap from some of the UK sites.

I have tried many bars.... The Deda100 is the compact bar that fits me the best.... Just a note in case you didn't know.... These bars are measured from outside to outside instead of center to center.... So a bar normal measured as a 44cm would be a 46cm for Deda....

I got these bars about a year ago...I really like the shape, they are pretty light and the price is good from the UK. Most importantly, they are stiff with no flex.

They are a pretty inoffensive bar, not much to dislike.

I bought them for my first builds. Track and road. I wanted a more narrow bar so I went with the rhm02? Heavier allow but they come in the 38cm o-o measurement. I just dislike that I can't easily debadge them like the zero100.

Just piling on but Zero 100's are my all-time favorite bar. I can't ride them because it's too hot here and my sweat corrodes them too quickly.
