Sorting Handlebars
Handlebars come in two materials and two types at the co-op. They are either made of aluminum or steel, and they are either flat bars or road bars.
Material
If a magnet will stick to the bar, it is still. Otherwise it is aluminum. You can't always tell by weight, or by finish, so be sure to use the magnet.
Shape
Road bars and flat bars are shaped differently - but be aware that flat bars are not always flat. There is more information in the article on ((Handlebars)).
Where they go
Steel bars go in the free parts room, up front by the loaner bikes. Aluminum bars go in the Limited Stock Room, near member parking, just inside the door (look up!).
