Snfoilhat, you bring up a great point. We're never provided with true measurements of stiffness which would allow us to accurately compare two bars. What Easton did provide us with in their literature, however, is a statement saying that the "Havoc 35 handlebars are 21% stiffer than traditional 31.8mm designs." I assume they are referencing their own 31.8 bars in that statement and are talking about flexural/bending stiffness, but it is rather vague. Performing a simple calculation where flexural stiffness = EI would likely yield something around the quoted 21%. Considering the fact that the wall thickness varies along the...

You will be missed but your photography will remain permanently imprinted on the top level of my cornea. Thanks for delivering some of the best slideshows/reports I've ever had the pleasure to witness. Best of luck (although I know you don't need any luck since you have the skills and determination to succeed) with whatever you take on next. cheers!
