And you should have seen how easily and quickly Jim went through incremental changes in the fit. I would literally just sit up for a few seconds while he made several tiny adjustments.
Woohoo! That’s exactly why we made the bar. So glad to hear you are getting along well with it!

That was my initial thought as well, but don’t we ride with a single bolt holding our seatpost and I would hazard to guess the forces imparted through the saddle are greater than those imparted through aero bars.

Nick,

I’ve already order the bar but two questions:

Will you eventually offer a replacement post for those that do consider trimming it?

Besides the fairing you will be releasing eventually, what about bottle integration like the PD one?

I do intend to trim the post once I am certain the fit is dialed in. I don't see how doing so will have any impact aside from improving aesthetics (marginal aero? who knows). Having installed, adjusted, and ridden on the bar, I can tell you I have no concerns about the single bolt holding the monopost. I don't have any experience with the Felt bars, however. So I can't offer you any direct comparison.

Yes! The factory is currently at capacity just filling our regular orders, but I've already placed an order for an additional complement of Monoposts, specifically for this purpose. Should be ~$95 or so for a replacement post. Not looking to make those a profit center, just a convenient option for those who need it.

I don't believe that anything can truly beat the Ventus 1 and 2.

The 1 because it's just SO thin, and the built in levers leave you with the impression that no compromises were made for comfort, reliability, or function. Just fast, fast, fast.
The 2 because it has a Bat Wing feel too it due to the massive drop to the base. Still thin, still extremely deep. Excellent routing, other than for the front brake. They did a poor job there, but it's easily rectified with a dremel.

Saw on your site that the Alpha One orders placed today will be fulfilled by end of May. Is this still holding true?

For those who wanted to see it with the monopost trimmed, here it is. A regular hacksaw blade (32 tpi) for the cut, then smoothed out with a sanding attachment on a Dremel. I don't put tape or anything over the hole, no whistling or anything weird. And obviously from the side or front, it looks totally clean. I've done everything from short TT efforts all the way up to a full Ironman on it with zero issues. It is a solid piece of gear:

I put a few on the previous page prior to trimming the monopost. The only difference is the post no longer protruding out the bottom of the base bar.

Adding a link to the Alpha One universal cover here.

I have an Orbea Ordu and have been looking to upgrade the front end. I think this just sealed the deal for me.

I'm excited to get my Alpha One for mine. Once this cover comes out I'll also probably order it. Curious how this bike does in the tunnel vs some of the integrated bikes. Only thing I wish I did was get mine in black now.

Just curious, about to order the Alpha One but the timeline says "ships in june" while the Alpha X says 2-3 weeks.

Which would arrive first? Need bars for my build ASAP!

Hi All,
For those that have installed the Alpha, what are you using as a hydration solution. Also, what are you using to hold your Garmin?

I've mine installed and love it. Need to decide now on a hydration setup for long course and where/how to position the Garmin. Cheers.

I don't have the Alpha One.....yet. If or when I get one I will continue to use the Speedfil Z4 with independent bottles for long course like I do now by rotating bottles from BTS mounts to the BTA. The top of the Edge 820 is almost flush with the top of my forearms so it is fairly tucked in and is in good view if I need a glance at the display. The bottle cage is fairly smooth for getting the bottle in and out and yet I've never lost a bottle during a ride since it is tucked in between my arms in aero or sitting up on rough roads. Disclaimer: I don't race, but I do train diligently using self-supported 80 to 100 mile courses using this setup.
