replacing arm cups on SC
Quote | Reply
I have a newer (2015) Speed Concept with the standard/factory aerobar setup, and have now cracked 2 of the arm cups. (I'm ~200lbs, which may have something to do with it) The cracks are in between the screw holes on both, and allows the outside part to bend down, thus letting my forearms slip off the side.
Is there a better cup available that would fit this bike? Do most manufacturers adhere to a "standard" bolt pattern?
If so, who makes a sturdier cup? The Trek/Bontrager one just seems to be a bit too flimsy.

I have had a Trek SC both version 1 and version 2. At some point the arm cups became beefier. Not sure which version you got but you might want to check it out.
