I'll maintain that it's a good one, because the problem isn't that his current bars are weak. The problem is the metal is creaking because it's dry.

And I will just have to assume people will use their due diligence and not pick crappy bars if they go that route. I can't provide a comprehensive shopping guide with every post. The flats in my second pic above are from an entry level commuter e bike. They will never fail from regular use.

Don't mean to be snippy but I took the time and effort to respond to the OP and don't appreciate having that called a poor suggestion because of some vague reference to bike boom era noodlly bars. Chrome rims sucked too - in case anyone needed reminding of the obvious.
