I have some Passchier Bars and can speak for their quality and comfort. I used the for the Tour Te Waipounamu here in NZ which was a little over 1000km and had proper back country riding. There is about 1cm of obvious flex in them so not great for racing or hard mountain biking but there is no better option for brevets and if you run a rigid fork.
Actually, anyone with any technical knowledge of NASCAR or Formula One etc, know that what the Craftworx guy is saying about the wheel forming part of suspension is entirely true. It's why their wheels have stayed so small with very large tyre side profiles compared to modern road cars. In a bicycle, the tyre does provide a certain amount of suspension, but obviously the sidewalls are relatively small, so it makes a lot of sense that the suspension is put into the wheel rim and spoke system itself. Now... whether it's all talk or has actually been engineered into the product they're making... that's another question :)
What he was saying sounded all very straightforward and logical to me. They’ve obviously thought about the dynamics of wheel loading seriously. Kudos to them👍🏽
This day and age most companies know they have to make their customers happy or they will fail. The only companies that don't abide by that rule are either to big to fail, monopolies, or Italian.
@@derekhobbs1102 Metal or CFRP bars do not change into a stack, they just broke and broken surface is rather dull than wood or "vertical to the way tube extends" but I have to admit that My worries were in vain. They say these bars are made of bamboo tree. Bamboo do make less splinters and the fiber structure tends to bend rather broke abruptly.
