in Road buying advice
I know a few people on here run these bars so any recommendations?

Primarily to be used "to be seen" rather than "to see".

Can't run one under my Wahoo as I use a GoPro so Lezyne strip drive is about the best I've come up with.

    can you get an out front mount with a garmin on top / go pro underneath and then use a light with a go pro style mount?

    I've not seen anything along those lines.

    I've seen those Fabric lights that go directly on the out front mount & then your GPS on top of those leaving the underneath free for a GoPro but the reviews have been mixed so not that keen.

    Mine certainly has enough round section either side of the flat tops to mount a regular light. I have a Lezyne Micro Drive as a "to be seen" light where you can "see" on its highest setting at a push", which is not expensive and fits. I would certainly not use my Halfords 1500 lumen commuting monster on aesthetic grounds even if it did fit.

    But anything with a fairly slim rubber band mount should fit on the round section no problem. If you've used the round section for a Garmin mount, you could always free that up with a stem bolt Garmin mount - I have a Lifeline one on one of my bikes.

    As above, I have the up-front mount for my Lezyne GPS to the right of the stem clamp, loads of room on the left for rubber mounted light.

    Alternatively, I have one of https://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/LIPXSMH2W/planet-x-super-mini-2-way-200-lumen-bike-helmet-light and recently found the helmet mount fits securely on the stem, low and medium are fine "to be seen by" and high (maybe med too in some situations) improves what I can see, pointing down just beyond the GPS.

    Must admit as the bars aren't on the bike yet I haven't seen if my Cateye mount will fit.

    At least I have a couple of alternatives if it doesn't.

    I run a Lifeline computer mount on mine with no worries - loads of space betwixt stem and flat portion of top to fit anything you want.

    The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

    There's loads of available round tube on those bars- most things should fit. As above, Micro-Drive or similar will fit no probs...

    I have the Prime ally aero bars on mine and have a Wahoo mount on on side and a bike light on the other. Can't see there will be an issue with most light fittings.
