For the torque wrench to be honest you can get an EPauto for about the same price but with probably a better accuracy retention (and the click is louder) bike industry torque wrench are usualy overpriced
I'd be curious about carbon seats I've ordered some from Ali some from the same brand were either terrible or great it's pretty inconsistent, I have one that's supposedly made of Toray t800 since a year now, on a mountain bike. Some other models failed instantly, QC is the main issue...
In the interests of fairness why not try a name brand set of bars. I'm not that sure that bars are specifically designed to handle loads like you applied in that plain.
I have done that test on plenty of bars in my past, from roval, to zipp and pro vibe as well, never Have I got that.... I know its not fair because I have not done it on camera, but just think about how you spring, you are literally having your body wait on top of those bars yanking from one side to the other, with so much force on those focal points like the hoods and also the middle of the bar
@@GCPerformance18 I do get it but I don't think you get those kind of forces through that particular plane. Maybe if you put them in a clamp and pushed and pulled from the approximate position that you'd be in whilst riding. I don't think the average rider could ever hope to place those sort of forces upon them. I'd even say just because you pay through the nose doesn't mean you'll get a superior product.
Thanks for your test, that was nice to watch. I have purchased similar tools for removing and installing bearings and yes they are simple but they work. For somebody that has to use them daily they are probably not good enough but for me replacing bearings 2-4 times a year they are great. Yes I agree that name brands have some great looking and high quality tools but sometimes the cheap ones can do the job.
The bottom bracket toolkit, the bleedkit, the torque wrench, and the Bike toolkit is all a DIY mechanic needs. If your not doin this day in and day out, there is no need to spend thousands of $$$ on pro tools. BTW, that bleedkit is kick ass, works with every system and is cheap, i love mine, and would never buy one from Shimano or Sram.
yea holnestly that is a good deal and because it has every fitting makes it a steal, I have a shimano bleed kit, but I needed to order extra hose fitting for like tektro and mrp
@GCPerformance18 You must have been a soccer player in the past lol. To much softness in your sole. Put the cheep bars on and ride. I have for many years and never a issue and my sprint power is over 1200 watts. Absolutely love your videos but that definitely was miss leading.
@@GCPerformance18 i have a t***k ( i dont want this to feel like an advert lmao, on a gravel bike and i've hit some rocks so hard it dinged my alloy wheel and make the handlebar rotate in the stem. no damage of cracks on the handlebar! i was a believer after that.
Less force will be needed to break one of your S Works bars I guess And the excuse afterwards will be... carbon fiber layouts are directional and made to take maximum force only in a certain way or angle.....🙃
I'm sure others will say this, but apply the same cross bar stress on a $400 handlebar and will probably break too. Good entertainment value though I'd never buy a torque wrench from China Freight, but I do own that bleed kit, ha.
I have a ztto BB press which is probably similar to the topree one. It works really nice. Just beware that the rods are steel and the cups and everything else is aluminium. The rod will survive if you didn’t align the bearing properly but the Aluminium thread will suffer. That is for any steel, aluminium combination wether it be 50 or 300 dollars. A open workshop around here had the same one. It has seen some use, but because they made sure it is used properly it is still working like new. Definitely a must have for a PF BB owner. I mean a workshop would take 50€ at least in Europe with disassembly and assembly and then in the end they forget your drivetrain is waxed and there you got yourself another half a day of work cleaning every single component again.
Cheap tools sometimes require more care and skill to use. You have to be careful not to do something dumb with them. I have that toopre bottom bracket press. I bought it to install a press-fit bb on a friend’s bike. To do that one job, $50 was an appropriate amount to spend, especially when you consider that you also need primer and retaining compound. I have a few toopre tools. They’re totally fine for use at home. I think my favorite is the disc brake spacer. It’s a thin piece of metal that goes over a rotor. You stuff it under the pads to center the caliper. It’s great.
I have that bleed kit. Works fine on shimano 105, GRX and SLX levers. For a home mechanic bleeding bikes a few times a year it's fine. Syringe is actually not bad in use. Definitely wouldn't hold up in a shop though.
I bought some stuff on Temu after seeing all the haters come out on an outdoor youtubers sponsored video. They ended up not shipping 2 items, and the one item they did ship came one day late(their timeline not mine). They gave me a $5 credit for the late item and credited me for the missed items. So, I made a 2nd order to use my credits. That order hasn't arrived yet, but I only ordered it a few days ago. The one item I did get I quite liked, and their service department was quick giving me the credit on the missed items. I definitely think there's a place for buying cheap shit in this world, but also, you can only expect so much when you do.
exactly, I have made some pretty spotty purchases from ali express back in the day, and there was always this thought in my head like "okay this is cheap, and there is a chance I might not get the item" thats the risk I guess we take lol
If you are not a 1000 Watt sprinter - chinese drop bars are just fine. Make sure you got some decent manufacturer like Toseek, OG-Evkin... I got one and I can't break it, but I'm not racing and not pushing it to limits just want some vibrations absorbed on gravel riding and it does the job.
I must say i a bit shocked by the way you treat and handle the stuff, yes it is cheap, still there are loads of cyclists who maybe cannot afford big brand stuff and buy their things on aliexpress or temu. By throwing the stuff around, and off the table, you just seem arrogant telling everybody that you can afford fancy stuff and don’t need to buy cheap, good for you but maybe not a great message.
If that’s what you got from that then that’s the way you look at things. All those items can handle a table fall. If I’m gonna baby a 30-40 tool and worry about it getting scratched then there’s no point to use it. Tools are meant to be used for long long time, also I know there are unfortunate people out there. I help out a lot. I just don’t film it for content. I do my part to help people the ones I can
pretty sure bar's aren't supposed to bend that way...like if you pushed down hard in the center of a carbon top tube from any brand... when are bars going to have that much force going inwards from both sides?
Great video! Out of interest have you ever tried to crack/break a full price high end carbon bar? It seems the stress and force on that movement is pretty high...
I have pretty much the same BB install kit, torque wrench, bleed kit (all from aliexpress, with different brandings) and they all work fine. I used the BB kit to install NTN bearings on a BB 30 carbon frame with the appropriate retaining compounds and stuff (thanks to Hambini for explaining in great details the whole process), and they have worked absolutely perfectly for more than 5000 km... I might be the one guy in the world with a perfectly crack-free BB 30 frame !!! Also, I have a 60$ OG-Evkin carbon bar (from aliexpress) on my road bike, also absolutely flawless for 6000 km. Sometimes you have good surprises with this stuff.
im getting a lot of comments so I think I have to make a short to do so, also I have done this in the past with a ton of bars out there, roval, shimano, zipp
The „ancient“ tool that is a crank arm extracter is one you‘ll need to work on brand new Shimano Cues cranks. „You‘re welcome“, says your Shimano R&D department…
Sure, as a bike shop you‘ll have 1 to 15 of those, depending on how long you‘ve been around. But on a new crank and in this day and age? With so many perfectly fine systems that will need allen keys only to install? Unecessary, to say the least…
I got the bar tape b/c I am changing stuff up all the time and wanted some to not worry about. I have been able to reuse mine that is like the green tape. I mean, I reused it 1x and it’s not perfect. But I need the practice
I have a version of that bleed kit. Mine came with a much nicer syringe and brass adapters for the cup. It’s all totally fine stuff. But I would not advise using that fluid. ‘Mineral oil’ is a huge category of things. Both of my XT brake levers leaked within a year. I have no idea if he’s correct, but a mechanic from the local shop said he had seen off-brand mineral oil cause leaks. Again, I have no idea whether he’s right. But, just in case, I’ll be sticking with name brand mineral oil.
i recently used the "ancient" tool to remove my Hollowtech1-crank arms. and the Bleeding-kit is awesome with all the adapters. i am gonna order one for me since i decided to upgrade my 20 Year old bike with a hydraulic brake system (105). is your testing of the handlebar a legit test? i am unsure how average cycling-joes will get that amount of force on the Handlebars. maybe test it on a zipp aero SL70 ;-)
You are using full leverage length and you were grunting. On a bike it wouldn't be twice as strong with half the leverage. Definitely don't completely disagree but i definitely would put those bars on my bike.
but like imagine a strong sprinter on there that sprinter has full body over the top of those bars supporting his weight, yanking them back and forth trying to get leverage so body weight plus added force, that is something a similar force
@@GCPerformance18 what sprinter squeezes the ends together which is what you're doing when pushing into your shoulder? That's one of the easiest ways to bend/break any bars, carbon or metal. Find a carbon bar that would stand up to the ends being squeezed together.
Had a bad experience with a cheap torque wrench. Seemed fine until one range was way off. Not really worth saving a couple bucks at risk of breaking a bike. The knock off internal cable routing tools are cool, even just for the magnets. Random hardware is fine, like anodized cable ends, cable donuts, or QR springs, and often a good value. Cheap kit of computer screws is great for replacing missing tiny screws in shimano shifter covers. Random kits with washers, m5 bolts etc... for installing racks and fenders is useful.
at what price point would you actually recommend? Remember your Lun wheels were once frowned upon. expensive/=good. Remember when shimano cranks were busting? How can that be? they are so expensive!
There are better handlebars available. The better items are not 20 dollars or less. I bought a pair of knock off Specialized Roval Alpinist cockpit. There about 15 grams over. Been using them over a year. They were a quarter of the price, 78 bucks compared to 450. They arrived well packaged, seem to be working well. It was Aliexpress, same thing, Chinese ebay
All my handlebars are from AliExpress. I stand on one end push down and then up to try to break them. Everyone has passed the test. Never had a bar even flex on me
what are you talking about, we kept the torque wrench and the bleed kit, the other tool kit we put outside for our cleaning station that way we dont have to worry about our nice tools getting wreck, it was mroe to order to see what would come in as advertised and what would not
Most cheap torque wrenches have same or better accuracy as an expensive park tool for example. Only thing that is not tested are long term use. As a home mechanic I would not worry about it at all. Your testing methodology is completely wrong. Only way to test the torque are to get a digital torque meter.
Most carbon bike parts are made in China. Hell even big companies like specialized makes there carbon frames in China. So the bars will probably be stronger than ya think
@@GCPerformance18so, it’s been more than a month. I’ve done anything from long endurance rides, high intensity sprints climbs descents and 1000km. I also tested the durability of the handlebars just like you did in the video, sat on them and I can say everything is fine so far. Only problem I had was that it came with a garmin mount and I had no option to use any wahoo adapter so I removed the garmin one and replaced it with my wahoo stem mount and glued/screwed onto the out front mount which came with the handlebars. I can also confirm that the mount is made of solid carbon and doesn’t even bend slightly so it’s super durable as well. I now also understand why so many people and mechanics hate integrated cockpits especially if you have a mechanical groupset. Sometimes I remember that these handlebars were 110€ or so and feel unsafe but I can assure that my handlebars are good and safe. It basically comes down to which 7 year old has made it☹️
Why putt a side load on an item that is never experience any side load as strong as displayed? The only time I can see a handelbar being stressed like that is in the event of a crash. That said I also wouldn’t buy it but the test is kinda lazy
Thanks for the video but do you need to hire a guy to tidy your mess thats right infront of you and put away a blade? 😂 make it a habbit to put the blade away moment your donw with it also why not just drop the trash on the floor instead of the table then clean it when your done?

Get yourself one of them overpriced Roval integrated handlebars. They're made in the same factories as many of these chinese bars and will probably shatter before their knock off counterparts do due to their obsession with makin them paper thin.

Most cheap torque wrenches have same or better accuracy as an expensive park tool for example. Only thing that is not tested are long term use. As a home mechanic I would not worry about it at all.
Your testing methodology is completely wrong. Only way to test the torque are to get a digital torque meter.
Great point!
11:42 I think that is for cleaning, not applying oil.
it said oil roller
@@GCPerformance18 To remove excess oil.
I build several bikes with those tools 😅
They work. That is all that matters
Most carbon bike parts are made in China. Hell even big companies like specialized makes there carbon frames in China. So the bars will probably be stronger than ya think
Most of those used twice have been thrown away 😅
Ali made a video!
lmoa a little late as usual
Hope he at least brought you some food
You get what you pay for in terms of quality!
I ordered a Carbon one piece Handlebar off Temu. If anyone wants to know more I can tell you when I get them.
oh shitttt
@@GCPerformance18so, it’s been more than a month. I’ve done anything from long endurance rides, high intensity sprints climbs descents and 1000km. I also tested the durability of the handlebars just like you did in the video, sat on them and I can say everything is fine so far. Only problem I had was that it came with a garmin mount and I had no option to use any wahoo adapter so I removed the garmin one and replaced it with my wahoo stem mount and glued/screwed onto the out front mount which came with the handlebars. I can also confirm that the mount is made of solid carbon and doesn’t even bend slightly so it’s super durable as well. I now also understand why so many people and mechanics hate integrated cockpits especially if you have a mechanical groupset. Sometimes I remember that these handlebars were 110€ or so and feel unsafe but I can assure that my handlebars are good and safe. It basically comes down to which 7 year old has made it☹️
Ha ha, I bought one of those chain lube roller and tossed it
yea it makes no sense
Why putt a side load on an item that is never experience any side load as strong as displayed? The only time I can see a handelbar being stressed like that is in the event of a crash. That said I also wouldn’t buy it but the test is kinda lazy
no wood tble, table is fine
hell yea, it is a working table
Dude, pay your intern!
helll no!!!!
Hahahaha then fire him. Especially coz he's late.
YO, FUCK DAT CARBON BAR!! That's just nuts~ The sad reality is there will be thousands of cheapskates buying these by the dozen :(
yea that carbon bar was nuts, I have done that test with plenty of carbon bars in the past
Clean table maybe? 😆
maybe
If someone buys a cheap set of carbon bars, I can clearly state that there is no way to prove the it's even made of carbon...
Thanks for the video but do you need to hire a guy to tidy your mess thats right infront of you and put away a blade? 😂 make it a habbit to put the blade away moment your donw with it also why not just drop the trash on the floor instead of the table then clean it when your done? Kinda disrespectful to the other guy if you ask me. Anyways hope both your weeks are a good one
lmaooo no he is a friend who works with me that was coming home from the gym more just having fun
@@GCPerformance18 nevermind. I just hope one day you see him as a friend and not a joey
stainless table
lmao that would be so much money
@@GCPerformance18 nope cheap on webresturant. many sizes and mil thickness
No or should ever buy anything from Temu.
wanted to see if there hype
@@GCPerformance18 there is uighur genocide support, perpetuation of child slave labor, plagiarism of original ideas and continued undercut of small businesses.
@@GCPerformance18 i saw you delete my comment
@@danielsemyonovbro I promise you I don’t delete any comments, I swear people say this sometimes RUclips delete them, but I have gotten this comment a couple times and I honestly don’t know what happens to them. I have no reason to delete the comments I honestly like hearing the feedback good or bad
I be buying this stuff. But if they send GCP free shit. Im buying more
Get yourself one of them overpriced Roval integrated handlebars. They're made in the same factories as many of these chinese bars and will probably shatter before their knock off counterparts do due to their obsession with makin them paper thin.
just a cloth on the table...lol
I got one but never used it lol
hey im 17 years old from Morocco i really need a 780mm handlebar for my bycicle if someone can order that to me please it about 17$
bro these hdr youtube videos are impossible to watch
how... just lower your brightness
@@GCPerformance18 bro, even on lowest light setting ( macbook pro ) the hdr light will kill you. Nobody uploades or takes hdr videos in a prefessional way
😅
Pretty sure the oly folk buying stuff from temu are product reviewer!
Hahahhaa
