I decided to get the EA70's which are a bit more aggressive and have a nice flat spot on the top. I also hoped I'd get some increased stiffness in the bars for sprints.

Well I put them on and am overall happy with the feel and fit but I have to say they're quite flexy, even more so than my stock Bonty bars, I'm almost considering taking them back. Anyone else have these bars and have this problem?
You can fill them with sand to stiffen them up. Also...filling them with sand will allow bending them to a more favorable shape without creating kinks.
