I keep a handy sheet of extension dimensions. That should help you find something.

I was under the impression that Aeria Ultimate had pad and aero extension tilt capability, but I'm on the Profile Design site and that does not appear to be the case unless I'm missing it. There is plenty of lateral (left and right, fore and aft, and some toe-in), and a ton of vertical adjustment with many riser options, but I don't see angled shims to tilt. Is there a way to add any pad and extension tilt? -c

Angled shims are a bodge to fix aerobars that lack tilt (with a couple of exceptions where they are part of a cohesive design approach)


You can see on the AU bracket that it tilts on the curved mount (where the numbers are)

Thanks for your quick reply, that's exactly what I'm looking for! Mine shipped with a different bracket (image). I think I found the angle adjustable bracket on their site (link copied below). Does this look right? -c

You have an Aeria 1, not an Aeria 2 (which the UItimate is).
If you have an Aeria 1 you can't use the Aeria 2 brackets, you would need to order an Evo bracket https://profile-design.com/...ucts/evo-bracket-kit
The Evo was designed specifically to add tilt to the older model bar - PD had sold many thousands of those so didn't want to leave users without a solution to add tilt and better adjustment range

New products shown at Eurobike (continuing from the thread about WS)
Everything aside from the brackets is new in this image


43ASC (aero shaped carbon) extensions with Race+ armrests on a Wing Ultimate basebar



The principle behind the extension was to sweep the extension body across and up to where the riders arm is. The idea being to make one body from the perspective of the wind. CFD analysis was promising and led to the fin that tucks into the inside of the wrist.
Obviously there are length constraints, so a shorter option will follow a few months after this one.

Race+ armrest is a 40mm longer version of the Race, with a new 5-10-5mm tapered pad and grooved surface (same as Ergo+) for traction and moisture wicking

Wing Ultimate addresses the weight penalty of the Aeria Ultimate stem by integrating the stem.

Wao, looks great.

Will the Aeria Ultimate bottle stil fit?

Not really, need to do a new bottle
This bar is much slimmer at the front, so there are big gaps with the HSF Aeria bottle

Ok, as long as it is planned, this bar is an option for me ;-)

Just waiting for a good bottle solution as I'm not using the Aeria system until now.

Do you have any idea how to get angle adjustment on a J5/Supersonic bracket with risers (I think 50mm). Rotating around basebar leads to other fit problems...

Also, how long will the ASC extensions be in the large version uncut?

Thanks!

I don't suppose you know if an official release date has been put on the 43ASC extensions?

One of the sales team told me he is expecting product to ship in late September. Availability to the public in early November

Edited with updated information

Is the loss of reach a problem? Have you flipped the brackets forward prior to tilting? I have my supersonics in the forward orientation and tilted to 15deg. There isn't a product from PD to tilt the SS any other way.

Thanks for getting back to me.

Unfortunately, reach (and hitting my knees against elbows) are issues - I am rather tall, 204cm/6'8" with long limbs.

I have my current extensions maxed out, hence the question about the ASC length.

What is your frame model and Pad XY/tilt?
As well as stem length/angle?

(I'm cross posting here and in the Official QR Fit thread)

I have a new QR PRFour with a Profile Design cockpit that feels too small. I have the seat set back and the extensions moved forward as far as possible. I also have the pads as far forward as possible. My most comfortable position has the tips of my elbows on the pads and my hands dangling over my mechanical 105 shifters (and even then I can only stay in the extensions for 4-5 mins at a time).

Should I try getting a longer stem? The bike has a 70mm PD stem; I'm thinking of getting an 80 or 90mm stem. Or do I need a different bike?

I think those are Dura-Ace shifters.

You need a lot more reach.

I'm afraid you need a frame two sizes larger (maybe even 3, would have to do a proper fit to know)
Shorter cranks would be nice too
You don't want to be in a situation where you are making yourself fit to the bike (which is what you've been trying to do) instead of making the bike fit you

Thanks. It's incredibly depressing to know I paid to be measured/fitted and ended up with purchasing a bike I can't use in 5 weeks for a HIM. Was really hoping a longer stem would solve my problems.

Sorry about that.
If you need a solution for 5 weeks time, then sure - get a 40mm longer stem, it will feel a lot better. But it will make the bike feel less stable, whether or not that is a problem is individual - some people don't care and others do.
What info were you given from the fit?
