WOT???? lmao.... Huge difference in the amount of chop coming up through the fork with those bars...the dampening is amazing compared to the aluminum I had...No way am I changing the crank, it's a Sugino ox901d , 74 & 110 bcd nested together, very stiff, low-q and lots of chainring options...and my housing, shifts like buttah...I will chop the steerer but I'm not flipping and slamming a thing.
