I am pondering a carbon bar and am torn between the two. I would be getting a classic shallow round drop in 31.8mm bulge. Anyone have any opinions on the merits of either one?
I know the easton doesn't have cable groves. Using shimano I only have one cable to hide. The ritchey has them. The easton is cheaper. Easton says to use only a two bolt stem but I have a Newton o/s in 86deg rise that I want to use.
Anyone know which has the longer flat section on the drops? I get the feeling that one way manufacturers "lighten" their bars is by chopping a little of the ends of the drops, cutting a few precious grams. Annoying habit it is!
All help appreciated. Thanks
