Well it is as close as I have seen. I agree that they need to mount the extensions to the underside and allow you to use the armrests on top or just not use them.

I would say that they are very close. I might have to buy them and I am sure I can sort out something to get what I want.

I do love the stem/bar integration

Actually

I designed what you wanted 2 years ago already for Blktec but after leaving them, they changed the design and molds from original 3d

Which before I left them could do below and above. I just got one finally from them and its like PRO with too wide an aero bar design. So not crazy about it.


The planet X you mentioned above, I am also keen on as it looks like my original design but I see alot of design areas that need some improvement.


1. Aero bars are Dengfu.... Shows above, no sign of below


2. Look at the weight.. site shows 400 grams for bar only... Hope that isnt right...
3. Cable routing...
4. Stem is a Svelte 246 grams, not bad but not light for carbon..."Built from carbon, with a removable face plate, Integrated Garmin Mount and metal threaded inserts for all bolt fixing the Selcof Ultra Carbon Aero Stem weighs in at a suitable svelte 246g. It's a light weight, high strength stem that's packed with features and designed to help you blow the competition away as part of our new Selcof Ultra Carbon cockpit."

If your not in a rush, please wait til next year. New designs are coming, but takes time. I do not wish to launch and make ppl wait forever for the product. So waiting on first riding samples come Dec/Jan. Will give out to Media if I meet my timeline in January.

Below are pics of Blktec Models which can be bought. Stem only made 120 mm length due to di2 inside the stem and bar is offered in 3 sizes. Blktec R1 and stem M1 (160 grams though is pretty good)

I am going to wait until something comes out that address all of my requirements. I did go back and check the weight and just that alone is a no go.

I had custom bars made and the concept behind the design was to integrate extensions into the design but the builder was not able to provide me with a complete solution. The bar/stem integration was very nice in the end but not the complete package.

If you want to chat about what I am looking for, I would be willing to give you as much time as you would like.

This integration is lighter than just their bars.

Hmmm, from the images of the extensions it looks as though you will need to do a fair bit of fettling to get them mounted under the bars and even more so to use the pads on top at the same time.

The 3T clip-ons aren't bad in terms of stack height, but I agree, a "bolt-on" rather than a "clamp-on" solution would be much nicer.

Hmmmm. I forgot about the blktec, it's not a bad looking option. The pads are a little wide but for a road bike, but that bothers me a lot less on a road bike.

I didn't even think to look at the weight, sorry bman, I blew the horn too early.

If there's one thing I've learned in life, it's that there is no use waiting for a product that isn't out(particularly because there are never any guarantees about time, price, features, etc.). I don't need a setup right now, but I'll buy when I buy when I find the right balance.

I do wonder if these kinds of products are getting to market to late, I feel like people are way more likely to just get a full tri bike lately than 10-11 years ago when I started.

Funnily enough, when I click on the link I'm already seeing a 42% pre-order discount which brings them down to £144 if you're in the UK ($188 at current exchange rates)!

Yeah, but include the tribars and stem and you´re looking at 377 quid. Ouch.

That is not that bad actually when you consider buying this set up with a TriRig Sigma X (when it is available). TriRig stem will be $240 USD

I still want to use the TriRig stem because it has the ability to run bare cable down the front of the bike.

I have contacted this company and can get this set up which I feel is the best option at this time with an aero stem. Just cost is high.

Haero (the least expensive version) $$520 USD

What is a quid?

Bloody hell - those look very nice indeed!

That´s a tiny little place where they have their factory, just east of Stuttgart. I only knew of it because the Memminger brewery is just up the road!

So you could pick me up a pair and some good beer. Where do I sign up.

They have 3 different pairs and all of them light.

One British pound.

Oh thank you. Kinda like saying a 'dollar' or a 'buck' in the U.S.

analogous to "buck"

Yup. Think it comes from "quid pro quo" i.e. the idea that you can exchange it for something.

Back in the late 90's, Scott had developed almost that exact same system...down to the collar attachment system. The idea was for a road bar that could accept aero extensions or a version of Scott Rakes. Unfortunately, it never went into production.

Yep, no problem. I'm actually working at the Stuttgart opera in early 2017, so not far to go! Let me know.

Or this ""Chuid" is Gealic for portion or share. It entered English vernacular in the 1800's with Irish serving in the British military. The Irish referred to their pay as their "chuid" and was Anglicized to "quid" that we still use today. One Pound Sterling equals one Quid (English) or Chuid (Gealic)." http://www.funtrivia.com/...t/Question71289.html
