What’s the Most Compliant MTB Handlebar? [Updated With SQ Lab]
Manufacturers spec 35 mm because they have no balls. I developed 31.8 and 35 mm bars for a high-end brand. Riders only want the 31.8, people that need to conform to stupid trends that have no technical justification end up with stuff like 35 mm bars and internal everything.
Manufacturers: grow a pair, let your suppliers know you don't need stupid gimmicks you need good equipment.

Intend Releases New Blackline Forks & Components
@lkubica: I agree with your priorities on the fork, but I must say that a good bike company's engineers better know nearly every weakness of the product inside and out before its released. Bike companies that employ too many non-cyclists usually end up with some fundamental problems.

So in the NSB stem photo, do the photos make the weld look porous? Looks like an unfortunate photo or undesirable weld toes.
