They are nice and pretty comfy. Much better than the stock ones from bontrager. My only complaint is that they are rather heavy (the cup). For this reason, I swapped them out for the zipps.

I still have the tririg ergo cups floating around my house somewhere. If you are interested, I will sell them to you.

Did you use the stock SC screws for them?

I have the tririg pads and the SC bolts work fine but I wasn't to confident in those two tiny bolts holding those big cups together especially if your pads are not centered on the pad wing.
I ordered this set of bolts from Amazon and I'm using 4 of them on each pad. My pads are set up pretty narrow so I'm able to use this 4 bolt configuration. If your pads are further apart this may not be an option for you.

Are these the right Vuka armrest pads that fit the speed concept?

The new 51 Speedshop pads should be an option as well

I just got a set of 51ss pads. I was not expecting much coming from the zipp Vuka but just after one ride, I like 51ss much better. Feel more secure and “hugged”

Essentially. The profile/curvature of the 2 cups are completely different. I can feel the 51ss cups/pads curving around my arms/elbows more than the zipps.

One thing I didn't like about the zipps is that they are completely curved and don't sit 100% flush on the pad wing. While I didn't have any problems, I was a bit cautious and was constantly looking to see if there was any play in the cups. And with as much as I sweat and the potential for uneven stresses on the cup screws, I was concerned one of the screws might shear off at some point.

Edit: I should add that by my eyeball, the 51ss pads will add a few mm of stack compared to zipp. I need put my calipers on them to see exactly just how much.

Negative. I'm a bit torn on it honestly. I usually operate by "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". But I haven't taken a good video of my fit in over a year and half just to see how things look. I probably need to do that just to see if anything jumps out. I have been toying with the idea of dropping stack 5 mm (take out the pad wing spacer) but I doubt if that's going to buy me anything at this point. I also need to re-measure saddle setback and pad x just to see if anything slipped recently.

I've also thought about going to see Jim Manton again (he fit me 3 years ago). I have changed a few things since then (more reach mainly). It wouldn't hurt to have un-biased opinion but I'm still not sure if it's worth the trip.

Have you tried the ergo cups from Tririg and if so how do they compare to the 51 SS cups? The Zipp’s I didn’t care for and found the ergo cups better, but I’m not crazy about the pad material. They feel slippery to me when wet with sweat.

Yes I have. I tried the ergo cups for about a month before going to Zipp. I liked the ergo's but they were heavy (much heavier than the zipps) and the pad surface also felt slippery to me as well.

Steve,

When you used the Zipp Vuka assembly do you recall using 1 or 2 screws to hold the cup onto the armpad wing?

I was test fitting it all together tonight to get ready to ride it and realized that if I run both screws I won’t have the ability to tilt/rotate the pad assembly.
