Thanks ZXiMan... I agree with you. I tried to point out in my original post that my CAAD8 was much improved by a Carbon K-Force bar. Carbon DOES absorb some of the road 'chatter' more than alloy. I was hoping for some alternatives... kit-wise, but if none are forthcoming I'll go FSA.

BTW folks - I'm not talking about what to do about potholes... I tend to ride around those

... it's the general SURFACE wear that is the problem around where I live.
