Majority of this was just for fun to see what was actually came as advertised butttttt, I am still shocked by that 30 dollar carbon bar lol
Try doing that test to known brands handlebars. I bet you can find some that will also break...
@roeboeski completely agree!!!
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...
You need the princess blanket! 🧐
lmao
IYKYK!
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.
@@GCPerformance18do you have a link to test videos of other bars?
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.
never had any issues with 40$ ali express carbon handlebars. Especially Toseek
just always a scary thing
@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.
me neither.Using toseek bars for years
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
Who gives a crap about the table? Maybe get a princess blanket Hambini style?
lmao I thought about a sheet
You should try and break a 300 usd carbon handlebar, just for comparison.
maybe that will be a youtube short coming very soon this week
I destroyed a syncros creston but I fell on it and it still managed to get home, about 25 miles, not sure you can do that with the temu special 😂
"Is this dip?" Starts slapping the tin.
I died.
I have that bleed kit, works fine.
that bleed kit looks really good for the money and al the adapter kits on it too, looks like its really good
Iv been using those chain rings on my fat bike for about 5yrs, no issues
.
Yea they seem insane value for the money
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 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 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.
keep this table! it is a shabby as the pink princes blanket
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?
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 am going to make a youtube short on that once I get a carbon bar, but it wil be a brand name
Weird vid just for flexing muscles, kudos 😂
I love that type of bar tape. I have put it on all my bikes
How about $30 alloy dropbar? Is it good?
Try to take expensvive brand Carbon bar and try to break it the sam way. Same with bottle cage.
coming up in a youtube short
"Who wrapped this thing, Spiderman?!?!?!" Haha.
Lmao
Get a new table from Temu
hahahaha
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 $5 credit for the late item and credited me for the missed items. So, I made a 2nd order to use my credits. That order hasn't arrived yet, but I only ordered it a few days ago. The one item I did get I quite liked, and their service department was quick giving me the credit on the missed items. I definitely think there's a place for buying cheap shit in this world, but also, you can only expect so much when you do.
exactly, I have made some pretty spotty purchases from ali express back in the day, and there was always this thought in my head like "okay this is cheap, and there is a chance I might not get the item" thats the risk I guess we take lol
"Who wrapped this thing, Spiderman? You think this is a joke, You think you're better than me?
lmfao
Nice table for sure. 👍🏼
hahaha
I have pretty much the same BB install kit, torque wrench, bleed kit (all from aliexpress, with different brandings) and they all work fine. I used the BB kit to install NTN bearings on a BB 30 carbon frame with the appropriate retaining compounds and stuff (thanks to Hambini for explaining in great details the whole process), and they have worked absolutely perfectly for more than 5000 km... I might be the one guy in the world with a perfectly crack-free BB 30 frame !!!
Also, I have a 60$ OG-Evkin carbon bar (from aliexpress) on my road bike, also absolutely flawless for 6000 km. Sometimes you have good surprises with this stuff.
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 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
yea I do not think the re use of this tape is the best but honestly for the price it is super nice
The fart at the end is what I'm here for🤣, you've set a mark for all subsequent videos
Hahahahha
32:39 That is a battle ROAR!
hahahah sound the horns
Old bike tools... harumph. Two of my bikes are square taper (SKF) and one has a phil wood freewheel.
I mean in terms of what I usually hsow I use the tool on the daily for the repair department for cruiser and hybrids and mtb
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 ;-)
I am planning on it very soon
Why better table when you can get a princess blanket to do things on like Hambini?
Fun video
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…
lol I know but in relevance to the channel showing off high end item, we use that tool daily on repairs for beach cruisers and also hybrids
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…
16:47 that torque wrench looks exactly like the one they sell at my local car part shop.
yea it looks reallytt nice we added it to our tools for use
toopre actually makes descent tools
Totally agree, I have several topre tools and I can't fault them.
I've wrecked some stems with torque wrenches that weren't calibrated properly. Definitely check as they did in the video.
GCP definitely had a few shots of that henny before this video 😂😂😂
hahahaha
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'd buy that $37 aero bar for my indoor trainer 😅
that might not be a bad option but why, if your bike already has a nice bar
Getting them indoor aero gains from the fan.... Smart.
Put one end of the bar on the floor and press your weight down on the other... Easiest way to break any carbon bar.
I think your audio balance is off. Left ear sounds louder than right ear
I think honestly because I was standing on the left side of the phone lol
I have that exact 44 piece tool set, but I bought it from from a physical shop long before Temu existed, and I paid a lot less for it.
Keep the old table buddy. Its for us the ppl 😂
Keep the table it adds character to your videos
Can you do the same with a “name brand” carbon handle bar ? Just curious!
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
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.
I only come to watch your videos to see when you get a new table. I don't care about the bike parts, its the table that matters.
hahahaha
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!
Yea I agree with that
The only videos I have put on CZcams are my impressions of an inexpensive Chinese carbon bar. It's just not worth the risk kids
I agree
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 CZcams 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
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
Table is fine!
Thanks!!!
Regarding the table, please have a blanket over it. Preferably one in pink with a Disney Princess.
lmao I think that is a crime for impersonating
Mannnn we need to see the update on the Wheeltop groupset!
I need more time to ride it lol, I only have 65 miles on it right now but so far i am loving it
"Florida man's bike explode randomly while riding"
Lmaooo
Bar tape is more sturdy than the standard Canyon tape. It’s so easy to break when installing.
yea I was suprised at the pull test the majority of brand name tapes rip right away
Have your flunky clean the table paint it white put a GC performance logo somewhere on it and call it a day! As it stands now it’s hideous😂
Love the crappy table
Aliexpress way better than Temu
wanted to see what the difference was
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
I want to know who buys those colourful baskets against the wall
Most of those used twice have been thrown away 😅
haha i got an ad for those $30 bars earlier today 😂 sweet jesus no
Hell yeah. Shopping like a billionaire hu 😅
money goes long
11:42 I think that is for cleaning, not applying oil.
it said oil roller
@@GCPerformance18 To remove excess oil.
I build several bikes with those tools 😅
They work. That is all that matters
Please try the same test with a 700$ ENVE bar, i bet it would break just as easy 😂
I am going too very soon but I do not know about enve bar but I have some carbon bars here name brand I can try
Basically, Temu paid you 200 dollars for your work! This is free work! 😂😂😂 and you fell for it! 😂😂😂
Thought it would be a fun video. I have a new torque wrench, new bleed kit and some spare tools for our outside work stand. Not everything was trash
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
I'm a bargain tool guy since I'm a home mechanic. I'd splurge on Park stuff if bike wrenching was my livelihood.
Ha ha, I bought one of those chain lube roller and tossed it
yea it makes no sense
no wood tble, table is fine
hell yea, it is a working table
Clean table maybe? 😆
maybe
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☹️
that carbon dropbar YIKES! 😲
lmao
Na….you just ordered things to throw away. That is something I don’t want as cyclist. But can understand to show what is send so we can avoid it
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
stainless table
lmao that would be so much money
@@GCPerformance18 nope cheap on webresturant. many sizes and mil thickness
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 be buying this stuff. But if they send GCP free shit. Im buying more
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
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
just a cloth on the table...lol
I got one but never used it lol
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
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.
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
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...
Pretty sure the oly folk buying stuff from temu are product reviewer!
Hahahhaa
Crap!
I got the bartape and the hydraulic set....both are excellent
To be fair Specialized Carbon bars snap with the same amount of force 🫠🫠🫠🙃🙃🙃
I am going to film a youtube short
