So I got a set of ritchey low rise carbon bars and am curious if it would be ok to put syncros grips on with the locks? Anyone use a lock system with carbon bars?
As a grip manufacturer....all our grips being lock-ons....it is ultimately up to the bar manufacturer as to whether or not lock ons are OK on a specific bar.
According to Ritchey's website is says that the bar is reinforced on the clamping areas...
I use RF Next bars and after experimenting with alcohol etc, I found that my Oury grips fit like they are glued onto the bars if you install them "dry" with nothing to help out.
It is a struggle but compressed air can help.
Most carbon bars allow lock-ons. Just be sure to observe all recommended torque specs when you are installing the grips.
