| Crash and risk of handlebar breaking I crashed my road bike about 2 weeks ago going 22 miles per hour. My bikes seems fine except for the bar tape is scraped up a little. I was thinking that it might be a good idea to remove the tape for inspection of the bars. My other thought was maybe I should replace the bars. Any thoughts about the bars. thanks ---Brink |
