Need help with handlebar upgrade on SC 7.0
Quote | Reply
I purchased a '13 Speed concept 7.0 last year and want to upgrade from the bontrager bullhorn handlebars. What are the best options for this? I'd still like to keep the same clip-on bars and the same spacing with them. Thanks in advance for any advice/feedback.

I just upgraded (aka replaced my cracked bullhorn) on the same bike roughly (2011 Trek SC 7.5). Anyway, if you're keeping the clips, you really only have a couple options of current stuff: Zipp Vuka Bull and Profile Aeria (sp?). I'm sure there are a couple others out there but that was all I got recommended from my mechanic.

FWIW.. I went with the Zipp, really like it.

Felt Devox aluminum base bar is probably the best bang for your buck IMO.

I have the Race X Lite Bullhorn on mine and love them.

if memory serves, the 7.0 came with the Race bullhorn...one width, round section from end to end, somewhat large upturns at the brake levers. for the price-conscious, the Race Lite gives you three width options, aero cross section between the clamp and the bulls, and a less prominent upturn at the bulls.

Did you get one with the drop or no drop? I think I might have trouble adjusting to the drop, but maybe not as I rarely get out of aero position.

I debated the same thing and got the zero drop. 100% satisfied with my decision.

I replaced my 2013 SC 7.0 base bar with a Zipp Vuka Alumina bar and I'm very happy with it.
