Toseek Chinese carbon fibre handlebar test part 3
these have passed the test and will be getting fitted to my bike. they support my full bodyweight (80kg) if I jump up and down on them, and feel just as solid as my alloy bars.
they were £48 delivered, from eBay seller yuanting2019, took 3-4 weeks to arrive
I ordered a set in November which took 5 weeks to arrive, were £38, but arrived cracked it looked like they had been damaged in the post. got a full refund for the first pair and ordered a second pair from the same seller.
see my other videos where I test the damaged pair to destruction

These exact bars are for sale on ebay www.ebay.co.uk/itm/384317623279?hash=item597b1d8bef:g:ZBYAAOSwF-5hDsej This is me testing the strength of the 1st bars I received in the post that were damaged. Part 1 is the first part of this video: ua-cam.com/video/q2aFd-leHEs/v-deo.html and in part 3 I test the second set of (good) bars to see if they are strong before fitting on my bike ua-cam.com/vide...

these arrived damaged, they were sent all the way from China wrapped in bubble wrap so I'm not surprised apart from the cracked side, the rest of it feels strong
😅😅😅 you saved my life
1. this is how a complete brain dead human being would test carbon fiber 2. carbon fiber has thoroughly been proven to be safer and more durable than aluminum. aluminum is the one that risks folding in on itself while being ridden, carbon fiber doesnt snap off it slowly starts cracking and bending like canvas, it will give you AMPLE warning time before falling apart on you if it ever even does. and all the viral videos youve seen are just 3 videos, because i havent even seen 3 clips of carbon failing. the only way you people are this paranoid is if you went out of your way to look for videos of carbon failing. this is stupid much like 80% of the entire cycling community.
ua-cam.com/video/70YOVQp7P_s/v-deo.html if you watch that video, do you think there was AMPLE warning before the drop cracked off completely?
Wow, incredible the little deviation from those massive forces you were exerting on it
I saw "official" testing video, with some weights on handlebar. Not sure about the weight, but looks like 2-3 kgs / ~4.5-6.5 lbs. Dropped from 40 cm / ~16 in and survived without any damage.
Are the handlebars still in one piece just out of interest? :)
he died
I have two riser flat bars of two heights and have had no problems with them I'm 101Kg's or 222lbs and crashed once no damage at all,very well made,the only thing I don't like with one set of bars is the Graphix.
Hey can you test the Kocevlo Integrated dropbar?
You are misleading you didn’t tell that the handlebar was already cracked and the other side no crack
it says they were damaged in the description
Balls of steel, trying to break carbon with bare hands
why are you misleading people ? the drop was clearly already damaged. you cannot brake the carbon like that
I'm not misleading anyone, it says in the description what I did. when researching carbon bars I was told that they would never snap clean off, and instead would behave like a healthy tree branch and fold but not come apart. but this video proves that they do snap clean off. Why are you so upset about me posting this video, do you make or sell these bars?
@@fenwick458 no i dont but its misleading , you should have said in the video that handlebar was already damagedç
valla pues parece que las cosas chinas no son tan malas como dicen por que valla paliza le a dado al manillar,
Yeah, test the damaged bars, by leaning over the sharp edged vice, with all your weight! Sure, why not, nothing can go wrong, right?? Lol 😂
Ridiculous testing, you wouldn’t find a set of bars that wouldn’t fail with that much pressure put on them. Take a hammer to them next time another means of great testing 🤦🏼♂️
did you read the description? or watch parts 2 and 3?
Thank you so much for saving my money. I was just about to order it. very thanks
This was damaged on delivery
Do not use these probably made from fibreglass and other copy materials. High failure rates best to stay away from carbon all together especially if it originates from Chinese factory would not be even be carbon as is very expensive
What's wrong with fibreglass? If they hit the weight they advertised I don't care if they make it out of lead.
@@charliewhiskey8440 But it is unidirectional carbon..
I have two sets of riser bars for my mountain bike,they are pretty good,and the carbon is thick a little over 2mm or I think 1/16th,the only thing I don't like with one of the bars is the graphix,it's a bit in your face,and I'm 101Kg or 222Lbs I'm big 6'.2"tall,but not fat.Infact the cheapest of the two,the one with the graphix I didn't like before putting it away in my parts box I tried to put it over my leg to see if I could snap it,and no way, I had three goes before it was hurting my leg.So they are pretty well made.
Any reviews after 18 months of use?
I sold the bike after 6 months
@@fenwick458 is the reason related to the handlebar? ...just kidding
is this good for competitive people?
depends. if its crit racing and flat racing then alloy bar is better because it can take a crash better and you know when it has broken. for hill climbing where weight matters, then carbon is better. alloy can also be stiffer
@@loc9588carbon is wayyy stiffer than any alloy
These bars are on ebay now 99p start no reserve if you want to buy them and test the strength of the carbon www.ebay.co.uk/itm/384317623279?mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338273189&customid=&toolid=10001&pub=5575378759&icep_ff3=1&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229508&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg
Just ordered a set of these, hopefully I can shed some light on them. Only from reading the comments did I realise the bars were already cracked. As someone has already said, maybe some notes as I was nearly going to cancel my order. Anyhow, review to come👍
what were your results
@@jadler10 still running fine. I have no faults as of yet.
@@JamesSocialCycling that's great thanks for the reply
And here I am thinking about buying one of these cheap Chinese carbon parts. Good thing I stopped by this video. I guess I just have to stick with alloy parts
Which model and seller is it from?
www.ebay.co.uk/itm/283827681220
@@fenwick458 thanks mate! Är you happy with it otherwise?
@@Jifflan Yeah they are great. I'd recommend you get them and do the same test before you fit them
@@fenwick458 can you just say what model it was ? Whatever seller or link you're going to add here will eventually stop working.
@@AnonAnono there isn't a model number or name, but they are made by Toseek thats all I know
I have one of those... Very tough and light
Wow watched this after i bought toseek stem and seatpost. I hope they’ll last long. And can you please do test for stem and seatpost too?
Do you have an update on the stem and seat post?
Precisely the reason I stay away from carbon. I've broken a lot of carbon parts throughout my years of cycling but never an aluminum or other metal part. The latest carbon part to break on me recently is the rear derailleur cage on my Dura-Ace 9150 RD. A new cage part was ordered but I've been waiting 2 months now and still no word as to when I will get it. I should have went with Ultegra.
maybe you bought the fake ones? My carbon parts is much more durable compare to the aluminum
@@SussyBaka-qi5fn Yeah. You are pretty smart. It all comes from China. If you haven't had issues with carbon yet you better knock on wood because you may have just opened your mouth to soon.
@@wasupwitdat1mofiki94 Bruh i already crush this carbon handle bar and carbon wheelset like a dozen times on rocks and trees lol still working no issues
@@wasupwitdat1mofiki94 Oh btw i have a carbon frame to, i already crushed this thing ten times on big rocks, toss in the woods, and bang it on the trees still no cracks only scratches and my bike is already 4years old
@@wasupwitdat1mofiki94 and i f you're curious im using diamondback carbon bike all carbon, Maybe the ones you bought are fake china shits carbon lol real carbon is durable dude
Can you test the toseek carbon aero intergrated handlerbars? Because i just bought them and wanted to see how stiff it is and how strong it is thanks!subscribed!
yeah of course you send me the bars and I'll test them
Any update after a few months?
well I've clattered though several potholes on the roads and they haven't cracked yet. I really like the flat top section it's really comfortable to rest your hands on
@@fenwick458 thank you!
I remember a youtube vid where someone stood on top of chinese EC90 drop bars and it flexed but did not break. I just installed a new Toseek carbon flatbar on my hybrid bike (road bike frame on flat bars) torqued to 3.5NM.
Do you have an update?
@@streetdreamz-houstontexas9907 By the time passed with no response, maybe we can tell the bar isn't really good.
What are you trying to prove here!!!!
Well I put all my bodyweight onto the bars and jumped up and down to see if they cracked
that's not an invalid test, and as an aside you can see the level of rigidity there.
@@fenwick458 That was obvious.. Just some have to be..
@@charliewhiskey8440 So what determines a valid test for strength? You have one? It's pretty obvious what he trying to show here. But I would like to see your valid test in action.
@@andrewlabat9963 ?
What models toseek handle bar is that ?
S10
same quality for less money than the expensive shit ,you will never ride a bike with all your weight on the handlebars anyways
but handlebar will hold your body at breaking.
@@ghustap it will, my opinion when it comes to this things carbon always has a bit of mark question doesn’t matter low or big price it will never be aluminium
Is the broken side(left) also the side where it has a damaged when you received it? Based on what you said at part 1
the side that broke off was the side that was already cracked when I received the bars. the other, undamaged side, was very strong and I couldn't break it. I've been out on my bike 3 times now and done at least 100km with the new toseek bars and they havent cracked yet, and I've hit a few big potholes whilst in the drops...
@@fenwick458 Might be worthwhile to put that in the notes ... I jumped straight to this video after hearing about Toseek and almost disregarded them altogether.
Do you think a branded carbon handlebar would have broken in the same way?
I'd hope not. from my research I was told when carbon fails it's incredibly hard to shear it off, it acts like a healthy tree branch and is really hard to break it free. well turns out that not the case for toseek carbon, not all of them at least
Maybe they can make video with the same test on branded carbon handle bar..
Didn't a canyon bar famously snap off recently... 🤔 Sure it can happen to any carbon part occasionally.
@@mohamadsyarezamohamadnor2016 if you can supply the part then they can test it. Carbon parts ain't free
@@sepg5084 im sure they definitely have the original carbon handle bar right.. then maybe they can test the same force on their carbon handle bar.. if it break then maybe they can claim say it the handle bar is not strong enough to the manufacturer. It just an idea.. bcoz to do some test to prove something u need to have a comparison. Peace.
going videos, how much you weight and what are you thought after 3 test videos? thanks
Good videos, thanks!
I'm 80kg. Ive not ridden them yet but I have fitted them to my bike, they seem to be good quality
@@fenwick458 I believe you can give better feedback after you've ridden them for a period of time.
Is there a big difference between GHP 5 and 6? I'm 17 and thinking about getting GHP 6.
