Anyone tried the Hed S Bend's or know if the extensions would fit the Profile Stryke aerobars?
Thanks.

The HED S Bends slip into the Carbon Stryke with ease.

So will a "riser" mountain bike bar that has been cut in half. I mentioned this awhile back. It might be a few grams heavier however I got mine for $12.95 the guy at my shop didn't charge me anything to cut it in half and the installation was essentially the same it would have been for the Hed bars which would have been precut. I was scared that there might be trouble with my barend shifters but my mechanic had no trouble with it. I love them ergonomic feel and sleeker look.
I am not sure but I would guess that the "original s-bends" were probably concocted like this. BTW straight extensions = flat mountain bike bar cut in half, shallow s-bends = 20 mm mountain bike riser bars cut in half, deep s-bends = 35 mm mountain bike riser bars cut in half.
One other thing I keep hearing about the Hed S-bends being backordered, I do not know if this is still the case but there is certainly plenty of mountain bike handlebars without backorder issues.
Go ahead call me cheap. I guess i should have posted this on the new TSR website.

That's an awesome idea.
However, Steve is an elitist and has suppliers like me who can whip out a CF mold in about 2.5 seconds. I doubt he did a hack job like that... even for a prototype.

Another alternative is a BMX "lay back" seat, the ones with the S bend and 22.2 diameter. It slides right into the Profile Aerolite where the normal extensions fit.

I have an extra set of S-bends if you're interested.
Otherwise...will be on ebay within a few days.

Isn't it odd to have a quote from a fictional serial killer at the end of your postings? Buffalo Bill character from Silence of the Lambs?

No more odd than many other signatures. if I changed it, would it help you sleep at night?
No thanks I did the "hack job' on a mountian bike bar already. I think that I will spend my ebay resources on something else.
