The missus is doing a half Ironman (with all the dentists...) and I want to set her bike up with some tri bars.

I'll keep the standard handleber bar so I just need the clip-on extension piece. Budget is £50 or so. They don't need to be carbon. Ideally the clamp would be 25.4mm/26.0mm but it's not a deal-breaker if its 31.8 as I can shim them.

Any suggestions? I know nowt about such things...

saw this on ebay, which looks okay...?

    If you're not fussed about new I ahve some second hand ones I'll sell you. I bought my bike of a guy who'd bought it to do a triathlon, so it came with his clip on bars. I took them off and have no intention of triathlonning or timetrialling.

    they are alu with padded bits on the elbow rests. I can find tehm and give you more details if interested

  • If you're interested, I've currently got these on ebay. They're carbon and have had minimal use.

    The token ones are very good, I still use them on my Pro TT base bar. Pretty good for adjustability and cheap, not that heavy either.

    These are Profile Design ones. Not sure which model number. The chap I bought the bike off said they cost £80, which seems about right as current model Profile design ones are about £90 on CRC.

    they have removable pads on the forearm rests.

    I guess £35 posted seems a reasonable price.
