>>1822652no, carbon anything is such a meme, I can't believe i fell for a lot of it. When people say "MUH MAGIC VIBRATION DAMPENING EFFECTS" its all just complete bullshit and marketing/placebo for people who just spend 400 dollars on a handlebar and try mental gymnastics to justify it. If you want a comfier ride you get bigger tires and run them at the right pressure for the terrain.
The final bikepill is that steel is indeed reel.
