My pair of cheap carbon handlebars from Toseek failed catastrophically in less than 300 miles, so let’s check out the break!

The pair of Toseek carbon aero handlebars that I have fitted on my bike, have been rock solid for over 8000 miles. BUT another seemingly identical pair that I featured in my first video on the topic (https://youtu.be/64jMKz7hSNs) completely failed in under 300 miles.

The bars seemed to be good quality, but when my colleague Tom fitted them to his bike, he noticed that they had begun to BREAK IN HALF during his Sunday ride!

Cheap carbon bike parts from the likes of eBay and AliExpress are always super appealing. You can pick up some absolute bargains, but breaks like this just go to show that these cheaper parts can’t always be trusted.

In this video, I show the break in detail, discuss why this may have happened, and what do to if you have bought these handlebars yourself.
