    Ruta Locura carbon fiber spreader bars for WB Ridgerunner

    Well these just came in...more than 50% lighter.

    Those are beautiful.

    My math says 45% lighter but, regardless, at about half the weight, that’s pretty awesome

    I’d love to get a follow-up on how you like them after a hang or two.

    Thanks for sharing!

    Sure thing... 4 of us are doing an overnight winter hang tomorrow and we will be testing out each other's setups. All of us are different height and weights so we will see how the ridgerunner with these poles do!

    Sounds like the perfect test scenario. I’m excited to hear what everyone in your group thinks of your beautiful new spreaders.

    Used mine for about a year straight with no issues. They still feel as solid as the day I got them.

    I have also noticed a difference in comfort with the poles. They seem to have just a bit of give and flex to them that takes the harsh edge off.

    Do you have to get them in pairs as they are longer in this configuration. Can they be purchased as 3 pieces like the original (head end)? Also what is the weight rating on these? I'm right at 200 lbs and am curious what they are rated for. Lastly, what are the part number for these or a link if one chooses to order these?
