With all the discussion of how the BAT bar is actually 20mm and the type of steel having no bearing on stiffness, should I ditch my bar and go through the trouble of trying to get a BAT bar and getting it installed?
Thanks,
George

Did you mean ditch a BAT bar that you already have installed and get an Aussie bar?

Rob,
That's what I meant. It does feel like the BAT bar is doing good things. It's just a matter of how much better will it be going to the Aussie bar.

I know Chris A. aka Shaggy ditched his for the Aussie and is very happy. The group buy is still going on. They only needed one more the last I heard.

Hop in the Aussie GB before it's gone! Last day to have deposite in is April 30th. After that, my guess is that there will not be another GB for a looooong time.
