So much Trance hate
I would bin the bars and the brake levers that caused the damage.

Interesting, that's the bar / brand my mate was using too.Renthal. It's what they do.
Yikes, it’s the other brand I considered... I went with the Giant one as I know they know how to make carbon and was a little cheaper. Plus the gold put me off.Renthal. It's what they do.
They can't. I have a set of the 35mm vibrocore bars and whilst they mute the trail a more than standard alloy bars, the carbon do it noticeably more. The Spank bars are nice and stiff though, great feel in the corners.Yikes, it’s the other brand I considered...

I’ll be interested to see if the Vibrocore can match the feel.
Just fill the old bars with expanding foam. Best of both worldsI’ll be interested to see if the Vibrocore can match the feel.
I done learnt a new word; pusillanimous. Thanks Senõr CannonStop being so pusillanimous. Bin the fucker.
I hope not, that is what I put on the Giante. Ah it wont get ridden hard.Renthal. It's what they do.
Not to be confused with pulchritudinous.I done learnt a new word; pusillanimous. Thanks Senõr Cannon
That actually sounds like a great idea.Just fill the old bars with expanding foam. Best of both worlds
I’m sure there’s a fine line between too much foam, too dense foam or not enough.That actually sounds like a great idea.
Rotorburn Hive mind: What expanding foam would do a good job of damping vibrations?
There sure is. I love my Enve flat bars. I’m hoping a pro components ( the shimano owned carbon brand) is 80% as good as I just don’t have the wallet for a pile of Enve bars for the fleetI think you are onto something there - I prefer the Enve flat bars on the Tallboy over the Thomsons on the Ibis.
They just feel more compliant.
There *is* a difference.
Trial and error will be a fairly sizeable aspect..... Key factors will be volumetric expansion (eg. 100mL of the base parts will grow by how much?), rate of cure and extent of expansion within the cure time (it will slow as it cures, so you'll tend to have a denser foam around the outer limit of the blob).I’m sure there’s a fine line between too much foam, too dense foam or not enough.
