Can someone measure a Profile Design T5 and T2 Extension for me?

I’m looking for the exact length, and exact height / rise (as measured from the middle/centre of the tube making up the flat part of the extension, to the middle of the end of the upturn, where the shifter inserts).

This isn’t available anywhere online and I didn’t get very far with PD. Can you help?

I put in a request w my former colleagues at Profile Design, and also asked a bike fitter for some help on this.
I am a world-class pesterer, so hope for a response sooner rather than later.

If you draw a straight line from end of flat insertion to shifter insertion (at center of each in profile) for length and use a center line to tip measurement for height. Then…

T1 = 350mm/ 80mmT2 = 341mm/ 35mmT3 = 345mm/ 60mmT4 = 340mm/ 60mmT5 = 350mm/ 25mm
These measurements are for uncut aluminum extensions.

Something to keep in mind while the T5 is slightly lower than the T2 the wrist position is different. The T5 has a more natural wrist position and so they come out nearly identical in height with the hands on the bars. The T4 tends to be the most common swap from a T2 wrist position I see.

Aluminum or Carbon?

I can measure when I get back to my shop later today if you still don’t have the info.

This is exactly what I was after. A million thanks, Phil and others.

Hi Dave,
David provided you with the T2 information which states a rise of 27mm and max length of 270mm from center of basebar to tip of extension.

The T5 has a rise of 42mm and a max length of 275mm.

The difference you are going to see is in your wrist angle. The T5 keeps the agressive look while providing better ergonomics for your wrists. Let me know if there is anything else we can help you with.

Thank you; this does indeed round out the info David provided earlier. The missing piece for me was the absolute length of the T5 extension (from one end to the other, not just the centre of basebar to tip of extension), and I think this completes the whole picture.

Best
Dave

As noted the T5 is a more natural wrist position while still being low, see my original comment. And my name is Phil not Dave and your welcome I hope the info helps.
