Searched TR forum but couldn’t find anything… Any suggestions for an aero handlebar that supports/fits clip-on aerobars? :man_shrugging: Thanks!

I’m looking for an aero road bar (flat, wing shaped tops) that’s also compatible with some clip on tri bars. I’m giving my old road bike some love, gonna upgrade the 7900 to R8000 and a few other bits, and I’d like some aero bars, for looks mostly, but I also want to be able to throw on the tri bar…

There’s a few. Only one that immediately springs to mind is the 3T aeronova

I’ve been using the selcof drop bars with integrated threaded holes for aerobar posts on my gravel bike for a good little while now. Solid, cheap, aero. And it allows me to ride fairly aggressive drops but a fairly sky high aerobar pos’n.

I don’t know if this falls into your definition of “won’t break the bank” but Enve sells clip ons that are compatible with their aero drop bars.

Sounds interesting. What model are you running?

I use Giant’s Contact SLR bars. They make clip ons designed to go specifically for them. So a great set there! https://www.giant-bicycles.com/us/contact-slr-aero-road-handlebar And the clip on attachments: [image] Contact Aero Clip-On Clamps for Contact SLR Aero Handlebars | Giant Bicycl…

I have enve aero bars and they make a clip on aero set that I also have and use for TTs. Very nice set up, I highly recommend

Understandable that you feel that way. I’d guess that maybe, because the aero bars are longer than the drop bar reach, the extra leverage means more torque on the clamp bolts is required

No, but I was only asking for a friend. I too poor to ride a bike with integrated handlebars.
