I just installed my new one up carbon bars last night. This morning, under the sunlight, I noticed this line running across the bar. You can't feel this line with your hands so its not raised or recessed. I also used a torque wrench when tightening the stem, shifters, brakes, dropper, and grips, and never went over the max torque specifications. Is this line just the seam of the carbon fibre weave and nothing to worry about? Or is this line indicative of a manufacturer defect? Once again, these bars are brand new and have not been ridden since I put them on the bike 12 hrs ago using a torque wrench.

Thanks!

    Both of mine have that line. One is right on top which is kind of unfortunate. The other is more subtle. Nothing to worry about. Great bars.
