In 2016 (so long ago) I was building at least 3 TT bikes for team riders (had to drill SHIV for Di2). The extensions we called straight or "ski pole". Ski pole being curved up. Why those are ski poles and the straight ones are not, I didn't ask. My son having used the straight, now the poles said he was going skiing for riding the TT bike.
