This was the first pair of road bars that I have heard braking. In 17 years of mountain biking I have lost count of the number of bars braking. Two, almost back to back, here at the Resort resulted in broken collar bones. These were at 25+ mph and I would think the riders should consider themselves lucky to walk away with those injuries.

I will check my road bars a bit more throughly from now on.
