Hi,
I have been told there is no way to mount aero bars on a carbon handlebar. Is this true, or is there any way to safely do this?

thanks,
Scott:(

You cannot mount aero bars on an EASTON carbon bar because it will crush the carbon and destroy the bar. There is a note attached to each bar saying the warranty is null and void if aero bars are attached.

Whether this is true of ALL carbon bars, I am not sure.
