Aerobars that clip to stem
I only know of Pedalsoft that produces them, any other alternatives? I have winged handlebars and need a "clip onto stem" ability - any suggestions?
Thanks,

Profile Design's Lightning Strike. I've never used them, a friend had them put on his bike but I haven't seen him in a while. They do need a profile design stem (distinct shape to grip on to).

There really isn't a "perfect" shorty aerobar system out there. Oval makes the best, but it needs wing bars and a special stem, which is only compatible with 26.0 bars. And, shockingly enough, the only 26.0 wing bars are sold by Oval. And they cost $300. Here's a write-up on the Oval system if you're interested: https://www.slowtwitch.com/mainheadin...r/shorty2.html

Oval makes some that clip onto their stem as well... Slowtwitch does a nice review of the system with aerobars.

I ran some bars many years ago, with a name something like "shark bars". They were made of magnesium, and didn't like collisions with cars. They fastened to the stem with a pair of u-bolts, but the armrest pads each clamped to the bars, so it may not be quite what you're looking for.
