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

Thanks.

I'd like to know this as well.

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

There's not on mine, mine have approx. 8mm of round space by the stem.

^^The cross section of the bars on you trek is round right?

tmass 06-12-08 02:24 PM

That is correct. it is straight on each side of the stem.

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.

ya... you guys have failed us... :( you won't be getting a christmas card from me this year.

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...

You people should think of that before you buy stupidly shaped bars. Just sayin'

Val23708 06-13-08 12:01 PM

seriously... how the hell do you mount a computer on your bars then? stem mount?
