• Bought some EC90 carbon flat bars off eBay. Here are some terrible photos of the ends. Not uniform thickness. Should I be alarmed? I feel alarmed.

  • looks like to me someone has tried to mangle the inner diametre on two out of three of those holes. Maybe to fit particular bar ends? brake levers... not sure.

  • My real easton flat bar look very different from this. I would be alarmed

  • Non-unifrom thickness isn't necessarily something to worry about, a well engineered / made bar won't have a unifrom layup. Having significantly different bar thicknesses between left and right should be slightly concerning though. The first two pictures look quite thin walled.
