3T New Ahero and Oval Concepts bar
Quote | Reply
Is anyone out there using this 3T Ahero setup? I am looking at integrated base bar/extension models that allow you to use any stem. The New Ahero weighs in at a respectable 680g and cheapest I've found it is $259. The new Hed is out of my price range. Is the aluminum oval version available yet? I found the pic on their website, but can't find anywhere to order it in the us. Haven't found a price either. Any other bars that fit this description that I should consider?

That I'm aware of these products are not in stock in the U.S. quite yet. Alot of new handlebar options coming- going to be very interesting.

i have never tried those bars so i cant give any feedback, but the 3ttt looks very simple and aero.

I've used the 3T aerobars for about a year. They are stiff, light and have a good upturn on the break end. The pads are a bit small for long races....and the pad attachment is ok (at best). Over all...good bars. I am wondering if the new oval concepts would provide more support and better cable routing. Let me know if you get any feedback on these topics.

Since I got a new HED, I will have that exact 3T Ahero 2002 aero bar with Profile H20 Stem, Dura Ace shifters and DiaCompe BL188 brake levers for sale on e-bay next week, probably mid week, if interested, likely sell at auction (with all the gear as described) for around $200

Hey Gary,

Maybe you can describe that Ahero bar to us...since I know I have never seen one in the flesh. Are the pads pretty sturdy? The mounting looks a little flimsy in the pics I have seen. Also, do the wings thin out from front to back, a la the cervelo tubes, or are they more rounded like the typical, non cervelo aero tubes.

just curious,

Philbert

Here they are on Axel's TT bike, the system is very adjustable. It is made for Campy so I had to modify my dura ace shifters slightly during installation. no bigee. Hi-techbikes.com has them in stock and ships throughout the US.
