Sounds like you need a new mechanic.

Something is not right... I have an Alpha X on my IA, and I was going to suggest the One. I cannot imagine a situation that it could interfere with the storage box. The One is lower profile than the stock bar. And the base bar crush sounds odd... like, did the mechanic over tighten the brake lever expanders?

I had the same question ... OP emailed us and said his mechanic claimed to have crushed the prior aerobar (not one of ours) with just 3 Nm of torque. I advised our aerobars would be a valid replacement and should not crush at 3 Nm of torque, but to perhaps consider a different mechanic.

he is pretty old and experienced, i believe him when he says he was torqued at between 3 and 4. ill get it back in a day or so and see whats up i guess, he was velofix but took the bike haha. he put the bar on and went ot install the bento and said it will not fit?? i thought that was wierd too. hopefully someone on here has the alpha one on their bike and ill just order a new base bar

I agree your bars probably aren't the problem. I need to get the bike back... is he right about the bento hitting the stem? I love the alpha ones and hopefully just need to order a new base bar... that was me emailing.

Hello I just recently bought IA advanced disc (with integrated aerobar and stem like old frd model)

How did you fixed front fairing when u are using tririg. Could you show us some pics?

Thanks!

ooooh thanks you that was my other question too!

I don't know about the Alpha One specifically, but there are definitely bars with integrated stems that interfere with the Bento. I've seen photos of a setup with a 51 Speedshop bar where they trimmed the bento back a bit. It was still functional but seems a bit ghetto for such an expensive setup.

I have a Felt IA 10. Had the Tririg Alpha X for about 18 months and it was great. Currently use the 51 speed shop bar which I like a little better only because the base bar fits my hands better. Both are awesome.

I have a Felt IA10 and had the alpha one installed in February. No issues with the install, mechanic had it on within minutes. I got fit in a few hours and have loved it ever since. Never had any issues with it at all.
