Re: piece of carbon tubing?

Why not miss out the bars and go straight from the bar extender to the top of the forks? You might be asking a bit much of the extender clamp to grip the bars under tension - both friction against the bar and torsion as the pull is off centre. Just a thought, quite a few forces in play even going o...
