to fat for carbon?

[Bobby_Digital]

just curous, a few months ago i was looking at some new bars for my xc and i asked the guy at the shop about the carbon bars they had, he said that i would be to big for them.

im 6ft5 and 120kg so there would be quite a bit of me bouncing on the bars.

would i have a problem with them?

also what about other carbon bits?


and i guess while i am on this subject is there any weight restrictions on bike parts?
what ever parts i would use would cop a fair chunk of abuse

Yeah some carbon bits will be weight resrictive. I have a K-force lite seatpost & bars & they are weighted to 120kg. but FSA also make DHill parts too that are still within the realm of light weight. So maybe have a look in to this range may be what you are chasing. The wieght resrictions should be on the manufactuers web site or on the side of the packaging (as is the case with the FSA gear)
