PRO Guidon en Carbone Discover 31.8

Nice!

Very light and comfortable bars, the short drops are great. I routed the GRX hydraulic brake and shift cable through the bar fairly easily by taping them to a small DIY guide wire and pulling them through. The bars come with a dry anti-grip compound pre-applied on the stem and brake lever areas. This is a positive but I'm not sure how I can clean the rest off the stem area where it protrudes outside the stem clamp. Otherwise highly recommended!

Bought this bar for a Canyon Grizl and I have to say it's admirably well thought.

Pro:

- the 20 degree flare is just right for control, comfort and to not make it awkward to ride on the tops
- drop isn't big so riding on the drops means you don't have to lean that far forward (great when going off-road)
- the increased contact surface is exactly where it's needed to make a good palm-rest

Con:
- Markings to assist with lever positioning would have been great
- the holes for the internal routing could have been a tad bigger

I would like to correct the review before. The di2 cable can be fully routed inside. I had the same issue for road but if you put the thick plastic connector inside the stem and then use the hole designed in the stem for this purpose you have a clean solution. Hope this helps.

Super guter Carbon-Lenker, den ich mit einer Di2-Schaltung nutze. Die Kabel sowohl von der Schaltung als auch von den hydraulischen Bremsen können innen verlegt werden. Das wiederum geht nur mit einer Di2-Schaltung, denn - und hier komme ich zu deinem 1 Stern Abzug - die Löcher, durch die die Kabel und Züge montiert werden, sind schon arg klein. Es geht mit viel Gefummel und guten Nerven, aber ein paar Millimeter mehr hätten gut getan.
