craigjames Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 My try-alls have lasted 2.5 years and got knocked and scratched up. I'm only now considering changing them as they're looking tatty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanStahl Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 No thanks I've seen the video of jack Meeks trialtechs Can't find that anywhere. You mean, SL Carbon bars snapped? If so, how long did they last? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peggysue Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 I doubted carbon at first but after trying some I can't complain . Heavy guy at 18 stone and 9 foot gaps to front and they ain't failed . Super stiff . Can't understand why some are packing in and snapping .....

dezmtber Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 Voids in the carbon due to air pockets left in the layup in the manufacture. Those air pockets/voids are just as good asdrilling small holes in alloy bars. Does this help you understand how they are just snaping. Having said that a carbon bar bonded together correctly with no air trapped in the layup will be much stronger than alloy bars. But if they look like an aero bar inside there basicly scrap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canardweb Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 I would buy more bar but it would be rockbars But Rockbars are just Try-All resticked pal. So you would basically buy the same one again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockman Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 But Rockbars are just Try-All resticked pal. So you would basically buy the same one again. Mine aren't there a complete different weave. Mine have many gouges out of them, pretty deep aswell and there still going strong. I put a light cover of superglue over just to help a wee bit. But I seriously doubt running bars at different angles will make them snap faster, I reckon there has been a bad batch of Try all carbons lately.

SamKidney Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 But Rockbars are just Try-All resticked pal. So you would basically buy the same one again. The Carbon Rockbars are the same as the old Try-All carbons, of which non seemed to be an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone said it's because they are the previous version. The old Rockbars are some Try-All old carbon bars resticked. The new Rockman Carbon bars (UD carbon) are the new Try-All Carbon bars (UD too). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new Rockman Carbon bars (UD carbon) are the new Try-All Carbon bars (UD too). Why is it that the new rockbars and the new try alls have different geometry, rise and shape then? They look and feel different, i know that they are both ud and that rockman have rebranded try all parts before but they are blatantly not just different graphics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JanStahl Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 (edited) There was a video link to a broken, almost new 130 GBP Trialtech bar. I found that quite amusing to watch as I have these bars on one of my bikes. Edited June 24, 2013 by JanStahl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.KYDD Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 I've snapped 3 sets of alloy bars, never snapped a set of carbons - and my 2 year old Try-All's have taken plenty of knocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
