So how's everyone liking the 8 bends?? I obviously(read below) haven't had a chance to try them on the road yet, but they feel pretty light, and i haven't really been able to bend or twist the bars using my arms or legs to try and leverage them.

Took 2 extra days but i got my bars, (grrrr nashbar for not shipping fedex). Coincidentally my new light for my bike only fit's 26 bars so i guess that works out good, and my aero bars are designed for 26, so i can put away the adapters now.

Funny story, i went to the LBS to buy a new stem for the bars since i don't have a 26 clamp stem, told one of the guys there that i picked up these bars to try them out, as soon as i said "mondolo" he said "oh they're crap, you should buy these carbon bars(he pointed to a display case), way stiffer and much lighter". I just smiled and said "are they 10$ too?" Well that shut him up pretty good, and it turned out they didn't have my size stem, he then went on to say "looks like nobody makes 110mm that we can order in" i just rolled my eyes. For the record, i had seen many " 90, 100, 110, 120" check box's on the tag for some of the stems i was looking thru in the bin. Oh well, i just made sure to ask for a 26 clamp on my new bike, problem solved
