Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Clip on aero bars...

Are there any clip on aero bars that will fit a 'wing' shaped bar?

Thanks.

if there is 2cm of round bar next to your stem, you can fit aero bars.

Most carbon bars don't allow you to clip on aero bars. You may want to check with the handlebar manufacturer before you buy.

Mine are aluminum. I think they are ITM. There is about 8mm of round bar where the stem attaches, after that they are oval cross section right up to the shifters.

I would take this as a collective 'We don't know' from the BF crew.

To the best of my knowledge, there are not specific clip ons for an aero shape simply because there are so many aero shapes to consider. Check with the base bar manufacturer, if they didnt have the foresight to design the handlebar for clip-ons maybe they have an adapter of sorts for your bar...
