My girlfriend has a 2002 Cannondale that came with a 3T Zep XL bar, 31.8. She is doing her first duathlon next weekend so we got her a pair on Profile clip on aerobars. I was concerned about the bulge factor in the handlebars, but could find no information (on the website or instructions) that they would not work. When we installed them, they wanted to slip outwards due to the bulge. They just don’t want to get tight and I don’t want to over-tighten and possibly damage the bar. I called Profile. The woman assumed I bought the wrong aerobar (not 31.8 compatible) then asked the boss the deal. He said they don’t work because of the bulge. She suggested I buy a new handlebar! I suggested they put a notice on their website and in the instructions that they don’t work.
With that said, does anyone have a solution/idea (other than buying a new bar)?
Thanks
