Thanks to whoever recommended these as a economical aerobar choice a few
months ago......I did my first race on them the other day and they were
perfect.

They are a good looking bar. I would be concerned about their safety.
Carbon combined with aluminum can have some problems. Many of the earlier
carbon aluminum frames would corrode and separate at the junction as a
result of electrolysis. Not sure if this is true with these bars but my
choice would be to avoid them just in case.Many have been recalled.

any negative reports on later productions. Guess one must assume that they
have been amply tested."Susan in LA" <[email hidden]> wrote in message

pair of Profile bars in the past. I will check out that information.
