Aero road bars

Posts: 255
Not sure if they exist but i'm after a pair of the aero road bars (that don't need bar tape above the shifters) Only trouble is i want a pair without internal cable routing. Is there any bars available that have some kind of clips to clip the cabling in and out.
The reason for this is that i want to be able to swap my bars over. so if there is no internal cable routing or bar tape i can do it by unbolting the shifters with the 5mm allen key leaving the shifters clamp on the bars and take the bars off from the stem. Then reattach the shifters onto another pair of bars using other clamps already mounted to these bars.
Hopefully this make sense. Bit of an odd one i know.
Any help/advice and pictures will be great. Many thanks.

I can't think of any. Why do you want to swap bars ?0

Budget? There's plenty, Zipp Contour SLs, 3T Ergonova, but the flat tops are more for comfort than aero anyway.
You can use copter tape (no clips for cables) for above the shifters. Also, some bars will require more or less cable cos of the shape.
Unless Im missing the point here, perhaps you can explain better, but these kind of bars aren't really aero anyway, more aeroness by a mile is to be found by riding in a more aero position, way more than a tube shape on the top of a bar, it will be hardly anything.0 -
I used the term aero bars meaning flat top style bars like the 3t ergonova bars. Wasn't sure of the correct name for them. I'm not swapping them for the aero purpose of them. The reason i want to be able to swap them is so that i can change them from road bars for road racing to TT bars on a base bar with ease. Would be a lot cheaper than buying a whole new frame and groupset for Time Tiraling0

Still confused. :?
Whats the point of using a specific tt base bar and putting sti shifters on.
You will only get the real benefit if you can have shifters on the tribars otherwise just keep the bars as they are and use clip ons.0 -
would prefer base bars and extensions rather than clip ons on my road bars0
