I have a 2019 Tarmac that included some plastic pieces that go under the bar tape to give a bit of shape to a traditional round bar. Not like an aerobar, but I found the shape to be more comfortable when climbing on the bar tops. I would like get some for my other bikes, but have not been able to find them. Even the specialized dealer was stumped. Any ideas?
Any chance of sharing a pic for reference?

Do these go on the front or back of the bar?
I had some Pro Vibe Aero bars that had a flat top and I really loved those bars when climbing.
Mine are at the backside of the bar.
I once had these, mine slowly rotated on the bar and the flat they once created became slopes. Make sure you really secure them.
These also exist, but are quiet a bit larger
In reality, these look quite silly/excessive under thicker tape. I’d use a pretty stretchy tape over these.
Thanks for the alternatives. Looks like stock on the bg bar shapers is pretty poor. I was going to use my school’s 3d printer to make some.
