Hi, i had aero bars on my old 25,8 diameter handlebar. My new bar beeing 31,8 doesn't fit anymore for the aerobars. Its eightee way to big or to thin firther to the sides. Any suggestions? Can i use soacers to make the handlebar bigger towars the ends?
You mentioned that the clamps have a 6nm rating, and simply carry on to put that torque on the bolts. Any mention about the handlebars? I have the same as yours, Bontrager Pro IsoCore. Trek say they can accept clip-on bars but don't say anything about maximum amount of torque, neither did you. Any suggestions? Also, should we use electric tape to protect the handlebars? And/or carbon paste ? Thanks a lot!
Thanks for the video! I have wide aerobars and it does seem that none of the clip on bars I come across may fit on them. Is there any chance of clipping on similar extensions on aerobars??? Thanks.
Thanks for the video. Do these bars support internal cable routing for the shifters? I am looking to swap my s bend bar extension on my tri-bike. Thanks!
I have 26mm dropbar and got the profile sonic ergo 50a. It says online it’ll fit bars 26-31.8mm but the tightest it goes is 31.8mm, am I missing a different clamp? Thanks!
The older style aerobars shipped with a spacer to allow fitting to the bars with a smaller diameter. The newer Sonic Ergo range don't include that part and I don't believe it's available as a separate item
It really depends upon the type of bar, whether they've been reinforced either side of the stem clamping area and the manufacturers specifications. I'm afraid I can't make a universal call either way
Very helpful. Do you (or anyone) have some experience mounting one of these on a Giant D-shaped handlebar? Specifically the Giant Contact SL D-fuse. I'm worried it might be tapering off from a circular cross-section (at the stem) to the D shape too close from the stem. Thanks.
Thanks for this vid. I have an issue with my aero bars slipping up as I ride when i grip them tightly. Read lots of different advice online (electrical tape, friction tape, no tape, old tube, aluminum can shim, carbon paste). Wonder if you've had similar issues and how you deal with it. Put electical tape on mine since i watched Gcn video do the same, but it possibly made it worse.
@@custombikefit466 No it's not tapered. I was thinking that as well that there is no reason it should be moving. I'll try re installing and re tightening the bolts. thanks for the time.
@@dagondonexactly same issue for me. After tightening still my bar moves up and down. I have tried everything wiring tape, friction tape still no clue. Have u found the solution

I have got a BMC Timemachine R01 Road Two _(model 2020)_ bike and it has an aero-formed _(not round)_ handlebar. Does anybody know any 'clip-on aero bar' product to fit with a non round handlebar?
@@custombikefit466 Thanks for your answer. Which one _(light/carbon/maybe aero-optimized except in the "middle", where to clip-on etc. ...)_ would you recommend by your experience?
Exactly what I was looking for,.
Thanks so much for the video!
Great video, can you adjust the stack height with spacer/risers ?
Yes you can Scott. Profile Design have riser kits which allow you to increase the stack anywhere from 5mm to 70mm

You will need to update the aerobars

I don't fasten beyond 6nm and I generally don't use either electrical tape or carbon paste on the handlebars. Hope that helps

Send me some pictures of your bars to setup@custombikefit.com and I'll let you know

Yes they do Faris

I don't think there's enough room to safely accommodate the aero bar clamps on those handlebars

Which bars are they Niel?
@@custombikefit466 profile design sonic ergo on an aluminum drop bar
@@dagondon is the drop bar tapered? There's no reason the aero bars should drop if you've tightened the clamps to 6nm unless the bars are tapered
@@custombikefit466 No it's not tapered. I was thinking that as well that there is no reason it should be moving. I'll try re installing and re tightening the bolts. thanks for the time.

Would these appropriate to add to a flatbar?
I don't see why not. I've fit them to flat bar bikes in the past
Great video.
For a beginner which one of the two would you recommend? The 4525 or the 50?
Cheers
I'd start with the 50a. You can always swap out just the extensions down the track if you want
Been wanting to try aero bars on my road bike but not sure about steering with your elbows and finding room now for my Garmin and a light ...
Steering is simply a matter of shifting your weight Barry and there are plenty of options and room to mount your Garmin and a light
Do you need risers?
I have a aeroad that is quite agressive position. The aero pads feel too low. Would you buy th 70 mm? I cant hold the position longer than 30 sec

Can you put aero bars on pista drop bar?
Yes, I believe so

Not to my knowledge. If you really want to fit aerobars, maybe change the handlebar. I've done this with many clients
