My bars came on a used Giant TCX. I didn’t know anything about them, Google turned up with a raving review from Trace Velo… so I figured how bad could they be? Well, 5 broken bones bad.
Then ole Trace posted videos of the bars assploding for him and a buddy.
OP - get those things off your bike ASAP.
Ok at least you didn't buy them new. Don't know Trace Velo but the brief look into them it is a Youtoobs channel focused on buying cheap parts which is fun to watch but not one I would use to start buying parts without true long term reviews with real world riding conditions. 5 broken bones is quite bad luckily it seems as if you have likely healed or are healing at this point.
