Bar choice

[JBuck]

Im trying to decide on a set of new bars.

Im looking for something really lightweight without breaking the bank. I dont care if they are carbon or alum.

Im 200 pounds and am using a fsa os-99 110mm stem.

Im looking at the prima 199 and the kcnc sc force. But I have read that these really flex a lot.

Any suggestion to point me in the right direction?

Thanks

I use Prima 199s and like them a lot - can't say I have a problem with flex, but then I'm only 3/4 of your weight! Despite the name, my current set also weighed 215g in the smallest size.

Zipp SL bars.

179g @44cm O-O

Bonty RXXXL. The Boron in the carbon stiffens the bar up a lot.

Wow, those are really great choices but at $300 and $400. They are over my budget.

Right now im leaning towards the TTT ZEPP XL. $70 and 215grams.

Anyone use this bar?
Any other suggestions?

Thanks

you can always go for the Deda from PBK
unless you want carbon fiber these are your best bet.

209grams and solid

The bar choice should be based on geometry rather than weight.
If Prima 199 works for you than Zipp might not.
The difference in reach might require next size stem up or down.
You don't really want to save 50g. and be ucomfortable.

Deda's more like 245 grams. See listings. I've also weighed them myself.

I like Ritchey alloy bars. As light as Dedas for half the price.

A lot, however, has to do with what you want for the bend.

From the information I can gather on the web. The TTT Zepp has a pretty deep drop and long reach.

Correct me if im wrong?
