Thank you - I've had one other person (different source) suggest Easton as well, so I'm going to look into it. My quick look shows that they say its OK with their own carbon handlebar, but won't go further than that. I can't blame them for that as there are many sue happy people around.
The bummer is that my new Profile bars that I ordered through the team have just now arrived - hopefully someone else on the team will want them. Profile is pretty clear that they do not suggest using them on carbon bars.


yes Raven - big happy dance - I may have the most well traveled new bike. It was destined for Austrailia (it may have even made it there - it still has the Aussie bike shop sticker on it), but they cancelled the order and it was able to be mine! Sorry to any very short person waiting on a 44cm Ruby in Aussie land.......I got your bicycle
