Thanks for all the bananas
Sounds about right, plus Chromag is a boss brand!
Just need to decide between a 40mm rise and a 50mm rise version..

I have a set of them. They seem easily as solid as an aluminium bar and they kinda do have a bit of dampening compared to an alloy bar.So I spent the money on a crash helmet but I'm back in the game and I just saw this...

There's a V2 version at over twice the price now but these seem to review well too. It's either these or the Chromag FU40 (black).
Thoughts?

In my experience not all carbon bars feel the same regarding damping.
My Raceface ones are lovely. The Bontrager Line Pro ones are the stiffest things ever. Almost uncomfortably so.

The new one looks good actually, it has a forward kink so it moves the bars a little forward too.
Still leaning towards the Chromag. Maybe I should just buy the damn things!

Small steps please. It's taken you almost 2 months to attempt to buy bars FFS, you'll be dead before you could decide on a bike. Go carbon. No alloy. No....

I'm ordering the FU50 today. I was holding out for the Gun Metal colour but it's not likely to come back in stock soon so I'll go the black.
If it's a little on the high side I can always swap some spacers and drop the bar another 5mm or so.
After this are new shades, shoes and brakes.

I wish, I have to save slowly which is why I've deliberated for so long on something as simple as a handlebar!

So do I. I understand your pain. Just not the deliberating part. I make my mind up quickly, then wait for the money to build slowly.

PS. This article was really useful for determining whether 40mm or 50mm was right for me - https://enduro-mtb.com/en/the-right-mtb-handlebar-rise/
