What are your thoughts around some of the bars mentioned above that don't bend until 6+ inches beyond the stem? Would they test similar to ones that angled from the basebar? A bit less aero than the stem angled ones, but better than stock?

I did something similar, but fitting 25 or 30 degree (can't remember) Use Tula extensions in reverse. Because the upturn is closer to the extension clamps, you get more rise for less angle, if you get my drift. The advantage, for me at least, is that the front of the extension where I rest my hands isn't angled up quite so steep, which I find more comfortable. Worth thinking about if anyone is considering this approach.

To illustrate (I wish this was me, but it isn't...):

please let us know the cost and logistics of getting those Fibre Lyte risers

thx

Will do. Working through it now. Happy to arrange a group buy to save on shipping from the UK and potentially cost.

I may be interested if cost is reasonable--let me know!

I'm not fully understanding what these wedges look like set up on the bike--do you have close up pics with them installed?

Yes, I'm interested as well!

Here's my angled shim. It's 12 degrees. If anyone wants the file to have it printed just let me know.

I think that looks like a better solution than the carbon shim. I am interested!

Sure. DM me.

Unless I'm mistaken, the underside of the bolt will still be horizontal. How did you account for this? Do you have a picture of it installed that shows this condition? Thanks.

I wondered the same, on the carbon shim also. What I'd do is counterbore vertically into the angled surface with a diameter the same as the bolt head.

Just so you know, I got a 10.5* rise using an angle gauge with those Zipp 110 extensions;



Moved the pads back to right at my elbows. Easy to do.

Exactly, so that the bolt hole in the wedge is at a vertical/right angle to the bolt hole the bolt is being threaded into. The bolt/bolt head may not fit perfectly into arm rest hole (depends on how large the hole is and how much wiggle room there is) but that arm rest hole can be easily opened up with a small drill.

Slot the shim instead of doing holes.

What's the stock angle as pictured for the 110 bars?

I just measured and got 36* for the bend in the bar and a rise of 11mm from the pad to the top of the shifter base.

So when on the bike you get around 10-11 degrees lift on arms?

If I understand you, when the fitter was setting me up on the bike I had him put the angle gauge on my forearm with me in the aero position and he got 10.5*. That was early on in the set up. We did find that the Zippp Vuka allows you to crank up the angle and we did change the pad position, so it is probably some other angle right now.

I use a flat head bolt to address the angle. It's not a perfect fit, but it is stable enough.

Looks like Martin is racing with angled extensions. Didn't win today, though.

he just beat tony martin and his new position with his classic position!

:D

I don't think that's definitive evidence either way about the usefulness of either position.

Impressive that Cancellara manages to get so stretched out with that arm/shoulder position. That would wear me out. On the other hand, even with angled-up arms Martin doesn't seem to stretch out at all, or does he always have a more rounded back?

Fab rotates his hip more than Martin.
