Calcutta Conquest handle recommendation

Post by husonfirst » Thu Feb 16, 2023 1:45 pm

Anyone have recommendations for a cheap 90mm carbon handle to replace the stock 84mm on a Calcutta Conquest 100?

A little birdie told me that Ray's DIY has some good quality swept CF handles on Ali Express for like $30.

Hard to find a cheap carbon handle, the ones from Hawgtech are nice, but there are around 80$ or so, I would just get a handle for a Metanium XG, they are only 30-40$

For Shimano might as well go with Gomexus handle and knob. There is light aluminum golden one (from China) that might fit CQ very well.

That's a bit too blingy for me. :lol:

Anyone have a link to Ray's? I searched on Alie and pulled up car door handles and road bike handlebars.
