Whilst a more stringent satandard it covers a small part to do with the actual failure mechanics of carbon frames bars forks .Due to its ability to resist fatigue a properly designed carbon component is will sit on the test rig and pass a fatigue test all day long . Theres an area where the failures lie which people havent considered in carbon components and its become pretty obvious in every carbon part we have tested i laugh every time i read anything with CEN in it.

I found that it shortened my effective reach by maybe 15-20mm at most, but it wasn't an adverse effect for me. Quite the opposite actually. @randyharris: You may want to just try it as is, with your current stem.

I came to the realization that a bigger sweep bar may solve that issue. I had no idea there was a whole MTB subculture around this type of Bar! H-Bar, J-Bar, Carnegie, Mary, etc etc etc. Very cool. I'm just not in a position to be able to go buy a bunch of bars and run with the one I like best. This Carnegie bar, would you generally mount it to the existing stem or is a stem swap out recommended? Thanks!
