Common knowledge that alloy bars should be binned every two years? Hmmm. And as said before, what on earth would a mechanic be able to see that you couldn't?
I'm not a mechanic so I can't tell you that. I'm also not a lawyer either but I think you are being naive re' the law.
Obviously if there's visible damage they need replacing but it's crazy to throw them out all the time for no reason.
uh, huh.
My point about planes was that I bet the parts go through a shitload more stress than bike handlebars and last a lot longer than two years...
I think you should replace your handlebars when they next service Hubble. That's made of aluminium.
