Decent Steel Bars
Hello,
I pull rather hard on my handlebars, and on the bikes I ride a lot the aluminum bars will often develop a creaking/light popping sound when under a load (both flat bars and bullhorns). I've been looking for steel bar options in the trekking bar/dirt drop realm, but haven't seen many. $50 or less would be ideal. I don't really care about light weight here, I'm just looking for something strong with a good fatigue life. Does anybody have any suggestions? I have access to machining and metalworking facilities, so I could make/modify my own if I really wanted to, but getting everything symmetrical would be difficult, and it would take a lot of time.
Thanks,
HopHornbeam
