the coker handlebar? It seems like it would flex a lot more than if it
was welded on like a T7.
I find the exact opposite. the front plate of a T7 flexes when you put
a lot of up or down pressure into the handle. THis is its biggest
design flaw and I have told UDC as much in an e-mail along with some
suggestions for how to fix the problem. A flat bar will bend and flex
much more readily than a round tube (like the collar of a seat tube
clamp).
The flexing in the front plate of mine resulted in a broken handle in
less than 1000km of use and I have heard stories (and seen pictures) of
other people having their T7 break in the exact same place.
I find my home made handle on a boom much stiffer than my old T7.
edit: 'were T7s break'
