I have an old Easton CT2 flat bar on my single speed which I had spare from a upgrade on my mountain bike, they were slightly damaged at the ends from bar ends so I cut them down by 20mm at each end, they have proved to be comfortable & strong. All 3 of my bikes use Easton carbon bars, I think the construction of the carbon weave should make them unlikely to fail in the same way as a lightweight alloy bar can.
