This is the third iteration. Regular clip ons sit too high above the road bars.
Second iteration was Oval Concept under bars, which mount to the faceplate of the stem, have the pads even with the road bars, and the extensions under. That worked well, except for the construction was flimsy, they broke, and Oval quit making them.
Current setup is as low as it will go with the current -8 degree stem. And right now its about the right palce for me in trading off power versus aero, although I think I could be a cm or so lower, and flatten the extensions.
I've got an adjustable stem that I'll put on as I spend more time in the TT setup, and dial in the position. That will allow dialing it in finer, and acouple of more inches downward range.
