I was told that they would have a failure every 6 weeks with the OEM bolts.I would love to see a video of this person installing their bar. Something doesn't make sense if they are needing a new pair every 6 weeks.
+1. I'm 180lbs and I bomb down potholed roads in the aerobars at 45mph with no problems, and I've also moved my front end around countless times. No way those bolts should fail every 6 weeks. My guess is their torque wrench is off, if they're using one. Same thing with the seatpost bolts BTW. I'm even more sure that people shearing the seatpost bolts are overtightening them.
Despite the fact that you’re sure, you’re still wrong. Torqued properly, I had two shear on two different Gen 2 speed concepts. I’m 6’2” and very near the minimum insert which places the maximum pressure on the OEM nickel plated bolts.
