I had a small accident about 2 months ago which involved my bike comnig down pretty hard right on the corner of my ec90 handlebars. At the time i thought the only damage were some surface scratches in the carbon. But today while replacing my handlbar tape, i noticed what looks like a very thin hairline crack going from one end of the bars to the other side, just a bit about where they hit. In the two months in between the accident and now ive been biking quite alot and always without any problems (however i hardly ride with my hands in the drops). the bars are relatively new so i dont really feel like replacing them, however my own safety comes first of course.
so the question is can i keep on riding with them, or would that be a dumb thing to do?
any advice would be appreciated
