Weevil...think ubyk have the renthals for £100?

Ordered a pair of the knuckleballs as I hate renthals colour scheme. The sixc are nearly the same weight, length and rise/sweep (that I was about to buy this morning) but are 60% more.

Seemed daft not to buy these...especially with 5 year warranty.

If you want really cheap bars they have Ancho Flat bars for a tenner or ancho/ancho b for a bit more.

Says '5yr manufacturing defect warranty'

Manufacturing defect warranty reads to me like "if it cracks we'll say you were riding too hard."

Super cheap though. Might take a punt.

I've got 777s in hard. Nice shape. Nice size. I paid £50 which I'm perfectly happy with.

Made by the same people as renthal bars... Or was it Easton....?

At that price had to have a go. 747 in hard to replace 760 Nukeproof alu bars. Shouldn't notice 6.5mm narrower each side surely?

I was told by an on one employee that the Knuckleballs are made by renthal.

I'm perfectly happy with mine.

Read that the knuckleball is made in a factory that makes high end carbon frames...and golf equipment?

Would prefer the graphics to be a little less white...but at least its not renthal gold!

You might be surprised. Wider bars can be cut with the right blade though.

Get the 777s rather than the 747s, you can always cut them as above.

Torque them to your stem manufacturer recommendations, just the same as alloy.
