One peice bar and stem

[St. Elia]

How do you guys feel about a one piece bar and stem. I hate the bar I have now and thinking of getting one of these Bling Bling bar stem combos but not sure.

Well, I think it really has to fit you right in your setup. I have also been looking into them for my new build, nothing decided yet.

If you are sure the fit is proper and nothing will change.

Separate Stem/handlebar combos are much more versatile, obviously.

Best thing would be to test ride a bike with them and see if you like the ergonomics of those things, because they're all flat on the top. I took a Look bike out for a spin equipped with a Cinelli Ram, and aside from it looking really cool, I really didn't like the fact that I couldn't grip the tops of the bars (where my hands spend most of the time anyway) like I could with a round profile. Also, take into consideration that guys that have their own signature model like Oscar Freire don't even race on them, probably due to the fact that those bar/stem combos are surprisingly flexy compared to the stiff, positive handling of a traditional 2 piece set up.

I have notices none of the pros ride one piece setups, I thought that they would have been stiffer? Also most pros don't ride flat top bars.

I really like the look of these, but don't like the fact that theres no room for tinkering with bar angles and such.
Also they still weigh more than a 2 piece setup.

But they do look really good

I like mine for the fact that i ride mostly on the tops and find them real comfortable. and of course they look good!

 

[St. Elia]

Yep the bling factor is very much a reality, but if they weigh more and are less stiff??? The other issue is the cable routing, I have heard that the Rams are a real bear and in fact the FSA or Pro carbon are the easiest to setup

 

[PHIANCARBON]

They are very comfortable to ride. The flat tops with ergonomic hand grooves on the underside are very easy on the hands. Slightly heavier than 2 seperate components?, Maybe, but I think the comfort, and blingness (is this a word?) more than make up for this.

电线电缆适中的交易交割成本

期货电线电缆市场的投资者大致可分为三类：日内交易者、一般投机者和套保者。对于日内交易者和一般投机者，其交易成本完全取决于交易手续费水平，尤其是日内交易者，最小变动价位和交易手续费的设置对其收益影响很大。而对于产业套保客户，其期货交易成本通常包括电线电缆交易手续费、交割手续费、商品入库检验费、仓储费及商品出入库费用等其他杂费。 PVC期货合约的最小变动价位与LLDPE相同，均为5元/吨电线电缆，而交易手续费为不超过6元/手，低于LLDPE的8元/手。这样，PVC合约价格变动一个点位，投资者最高收益可达19元/手，是目前国内所有期货品种中单位价格变动投资收益最高的。 交割费用包括交割手续费、仓储费和质检费等。PVC电线电缆的交割收费标准低于PTA，略高于LLDPE，处于中等偏低水平；从质检费用来看，PVC处于适中水平。PVC目前指定了两家检验机构CCIC和SGS，组批单位与LLDPE相同，均为每批次300吨。CCIC的检验费用2000元/批，抽样费1000元/批；SGS的检验费用3000元/批，抽样费1500元/批，收费标准相当于10—15元/吨。从仓储费用来看，化工品要求室内仓库储存，做到防潮、防火，仓储费标准比大豆、玉米、棉花等农产品要高，目前PVC期货的仓储费执行标准为不超过1元/吨·天。 总体来看，PVC期货的交易交割成本在国内期货品种中处于适中水平，在同类化工品种中处于略低水平，而单位价格变动可能获得的收益是最高的。 我国PVC现货市场生产分散、消费集中，比较符合第三种设库模式电线电缆，生产厂家生产出产品后通常直接运往华东、华南的协议仓库，然后再进行直销和分销，买方无需到产区提货，出厂报价也都是送到价。在这种情况下，华东和华南市场充分集中了买卖双方和中间贸易商的力量，所以将PVC的交割仓库设在消费集中、价格代表性突出的广东、浙江、江苏、上海等省市，能够吸引更多的参与主体，无论是PVC的生产厂家、下游消费企业，还是中间贸易商，都有在这个市场大展拳脚的机会。

Aye, i've got a flat bar on my track bike, and it is WAAAY more comfortable.

I'd love one for my road bike, but i also do the occasional TT and need to clip on bars.. PRO has a very cool Simon Whitfield option that bolts underneath the one-piece bar/stem they sell, which resolves this issue...but at over $1600CA. Ouch. Very light tho!

Are there any other solutions for clip-ons and flat bars?
