Specialized Venge Tri/Aero Bars

I have a 2016 Specialized Venge that has some beautiful s-works aero handlebars, however, there are no tri/aero bar clamps i can find which fit onto them because of their oblong aero shape.

Does anyone know of anyone making the right size clamps or some other solution if i want to fit tri/aero bars? Are there any custom aftermarket clamp makers?

Cheers,
Nic

    What do you want the Tri bars for ?

    Your venge isn't the right geometry for Tri bars. You could buy a decent second hand TT bike for not a huge amount of money.

    For a one off multi sport race where tri-bars would be quite helpful. I'd rather not buy a new bike, even if geometry isn't perfect on the Venge.

    In that case I'd just ride without the Tri bars. Carbon doesn't like being clamped unless it's designed for it.

    Would these not fit?

    Diplodicus - apparently not, they only work for the Venge Vias - which the 2016 model is not.

    not worth just getting some cheap ali bars to mount the tri bars as its a one off event?

    once taped up and tri barred up no one will notice they aren't the standard bar and they won't snap and give you dead disease.
