Incorrect heat treatment after casting the handlebar clamps can cause cracks in the clamp areas of the handlebar stub. In extreme cases, these cracks in the grain boundaries of the material can cause the handlebar clamp to break off together with the mounted handlebar.

I feel insecure and I lose confidence in the technology / the manufacturer.
