Sweet. Been looking for a flat alloy base bar. Sign me up now for that and likely the under-bar clip-ons.

Just hope they make the June date!

Can you see anyway to tweak the fore and aft position of the pads? I am looking to get a cleaner front end than my T2+, but my setup dictates that my pads be a little behind my base bar.

For the above bar configuration, the clamp the armrests attach to can be adjusted 25mm (straddling the extension clamp) and 50mm (in front or behind the extension clamp) fore or aft.

I believe you, but looking at the image, I don't see how the pad is going to be anywhere but centered above the centerline of the base bar.

The armrest clamp can move independently from the bar/extension clamp assembly is what [I think] Ben is saying. You can make the armrest clamp assembly straddle the bar/extension clamp assembly, or you can move it completely in front of or behind the bar/extension clamp assembly.

(the half circle portion of the cutout on the armrest clamp that you can see in the picture is wide enough to straddle the hoop that surrounds the extension (i.e. the part just above the 4Nm marking))

If what Karl said still doesn't click with you, I will throw up a couple CAD images showing this specific adjustability when I get back in the office Monday.

Got it now. I thought it was one clamp assembly. I will probably in for one set of the when they come out.

Any chance for an aluminum Vuka Sprint drop bar?

that looks like an amazing deal! thanks for the info.

who's smarter than you're? i'm!

Definitely replacing my old Vision setup for this!

I am thinking this will be much cleaner than my vision base bar with t2+ aero bars and should be as adjustable.

I was interested in finding this out too.

Have you seen the Service Course CSL? It is an aluminum play on the Contour Carbon bar, not as wildly shaped as the VukaSprint, but has nice aero/ovalized tops which are quite similar to the VukaAlumina, it also has nice grooves for hiding dual cables on the underside, and is designed to use handlebar tape on the tops. http://zipp.com/...vice-course-csl-bar/
we don't have a front view of the CSL on the web, but compare the CSL to the Alumina top view and you see that the two are similar. http://zipp.com/bars/vuka-alumina/
VukaSprint on the other hand contains geometry that we just can't achieve in aluminum, you can see how much more extreme the geometry is here: http://zipp.com/bars/vukasprint/
just not going to happen in aluminum any time soon..

I wonder if these will clip onto the Zipp SL bar I have on my road bike.

If that is a Service Course SL bar, yes it will work. If it is a carbon SL bar, you should not install it (or any other clip). You can see the complete list of the compatible Zipp bars on the Vuka Alumina Clip page.

Thanks!

It is the carbon bar. Damn.

Josh,

Can you tell me the uncut length of the aluminum Vuka Race extensions? Looks like an alloy version of the Hed Lazy S-Bend, which is exactly what I've been waiting for (if they're long enough).

Thanks.

I wanted to point out that we have a couple of new renderings up on the website for the Vuka Alumina Clip that show the fore/aft adjustability, similar to the one above, and the maximum width with and without the Vuka Pad Wing Extension.
As always, feel free to ask questions as they come up.

Agreed, no way you can finish an IM if you don't have carbon fiber bars.

Is that all you've got? Are you sure?

Any chance for some photos featuring the inclusion of the pad risers?

Josh -

The adjustability on this setup would seem to make it an ideal OEM bar. Is Zipp looking at this in the OEM market? It would be way better than the usual Visiontech and Profile Design stuff that comes standard on most tt bikes.
