Oh yeah…100%. That was what I was trying to o convey. I was able to do it, but it took a concerted effort to do it. It was not just as simple as slamming on some clip-ons and thinking I was aero.
But I did have online cable adjusters / splitters between the HB and the frame. I had my road HB setup with full length cables / front half housing to match the adjusters. I could swap between the two setups in ~20 minutes. But it was still a total PITA.
