Syntace bullhorns

I heard from somewhere on here that the horns with the cables holes in them have more flex in them compared to the ones without. Anyone have any experience with them? Thanks

I have them on this bike. They're great bars. I don't notice any flex, but I'm 138lbs.

I run the ones with the cable holes but am not strong enough to torque these bars to even tell the difference.

Thanks for the info guys. I was watching a used set on ebay but they went for 45 dollars with shipping and you could get a new set without the cable holes for 34 new, some people don't know how to look haha.

I believe those are NOS, so they're not the newest model. Most people buying those also aren't buying them for riding fixed, they're buying them for TT's, where cable holes would be appreciated.

Where is the cheapest place to find these now? I remember Chucks had them insanely cheap for a while.
