One side of the handlebars on my Giant OCR1T has gone all wobbly and creaky (see post below) so I
stripped back the tape to have a look. The handlebar is built in three pieces (why?) with a straight
bit in the middle, and two curly bits inserted on either side. I'd guess they are somehow sweated
together with some kind of solder. Can I just re-sweat the dodgy side with a small blow torch? Or
would this not be recommended? I would imagine the melting point of the solder will be well below
the temp at which the alloy starts to lose its tempering on cooling.
