To answer the question I don't replace unless I can see a crack, dent
or deep mark. The only bars I've broken has been in crashes prior to
that and neither were hi end parts. When I think of it they probably
were 6 or 7000 series too! In RR39/Summer-03 issue there was a very

I had heard about those old Java Boy Bars but don't recall seeing them
on the bike. All the more reason to follow the Sycip site closely
this Spring. Even if I don't need the bars right now, the day may
well come I do. Don't want to miss the chance.

Ya know, I was ogling the bars and did not even notice that. It
appears ernest, but those Northern Cali builders sure like to have
their fun.

Cool! Looks like a wider flatter version of the old Sycip java boy
bars which were great, the la

Doug,
I'm 6'0" and 152 lbs. I do not replace handlebars, The Nitto bars on
my Rambouillet are 10+/- years old, have been through 4 seasons of
cyclocross and about 5+ years on the road.
One of the gentlmen I ride with, "James", is many inches and many
pounds more than I (and much stronger too).

Appears they are close to producing a pretty swell looking bar.
Somewhat similar to the Jitensha bar but more curvy. Might be fun to
try one out when they hit

I look at $50 for a set of bars & compare to medical deductible, it seems
cheap insurance. I dunno, maybe I¹m a worry wart.

I've been thinking about this a lot as my Nitto Noodles have recently
developed a creak at the sleeve. I don't think the creek necessarily means
they are about too break, but every time I hea
Dustin,
A touch of grease at the sleave could take care of the creak.
In general, Nitto handlebars are very well made and should last at
least 15-20 years. Of course I'm assuming that you haven't crashed
your handlebars and that your not sized like Hercules :)
