The carbon ones are supposedly 780 but still seemed to measure at 800 (sold mine and swapped for alloy)

Why did you did that? Don't trust carbon? Yeah I am planing on cutting mine. Maybe to 780 it feels too wide
I think bars are a bad application for carbon - you inevitably end up knocking brakes in minor spills, which inevitably puts a score line right around the bar and creates a stress riser. I've never had one break, or heard of one breaking so it's probably not worth worrying about.

But I wanted a bar with more sweep so swapped out for an SQLab bar. Which required changing the stem as well as they only come in 31.8
