The aluminum stem may be subject to galvanic corrosion, but that should be easily observed. Of course, you can isolate the two which would reduce the likelihood.

I have not seen any problem in the year since switching to carbon bars.

Now, the real issue is how do I explain to my wife that these are essential despite the cost: https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/e...xoC4-IQAvD_BwE
that is a very low stack cf bar. wonder if something similar with different height options are available elsewhere?
