I was reading a post online the other day from a guy who needed $10k worth of dental / facial rebuilding after his alu bars cracked. Seems obvious now but it never occurred to me before. Riding my 92 Marin today with alu bars it was all I could think of!
But it's had a life of light use - very little off-road - and the thing with alu is amount of stress rather than age - right?
I'll certainly replace alu bars on a bike that's had a hard life but what do others think on this issue?
