Question:

Will 6061 type aluminum in a road handlebar absorb more vibration that 7075 will?

I know that 7075 is lighter and stiffer, but is there a difference in comfort?

Answer:

i use chi 44 iron guardit works really good and it smells nice )
I agree with the first answer, that product works great
All aluminum weighs the sameThe difference in weight comes from varying the alloy which makes it strongerMaking it stronger allows the use of thinner tubingless material, less weightYou have it exactly backwards6061 is much stronger especially when heat treated (this is usually shown as 6061T6)If any aluminum flexes it will eventually break without warning (also called sudden catastrophic failure)Comfort comes from the material flexingso if you have handlebars that flex it would be a bad idea.
