A cheap set of carbon fibre bars from AliExpress or eBay can make a fantastic lightweight upgrade for your road bike, but how cheap is too cheap?

In 2019 I was browsing eBay for some bike parts and picked up picked up a set of integrated carbon handlebars from a brand called Toseek, priced at £22.67. I’ve been using them for the last 18 months on my Chinese carbon disc brake setup, and they’ve performed pretty well.

But should you get a pair, and how do they compare to a standard aluminium bar and stem, especially when it comes to comfort, the amount of flex, and the all-important weight?
