As per Mr. Demerly’s post about sizing way up, I’m looking for input on the proper bar size for the Easton Attack TT. My forearm length is 14.2 inches, which puts me between a small and a medium (according to the Easton website) - but others here have suggested upping the size to a large. Can anyone provide feedback on the bar sizing, and why it would be necessary to go up another size on this bar to a large (instead of the medium as the website recommends?) Thanks.
Measuring according to Easton’s sizing sheet, my forearm length is 15 in. I listened to the advise and ordered Large. I am REALLY glad I did. If anything they are a little short. These things run really small.
I agree. They are really short. I ordered a medium and my hands were way up on the shifters. The smalls are like a set of shorties.
If between sizes, go larger…also…I had this bar for awhile and I never really liked it all that much. It is really narrow so having control out of the aerobars doesn’t happen and there literally is NO adjustment. It is really light and looks sweet though. Just my two cents. Enjoy!
My forearm is 14.25" and I went with the large and am definitely happy that I did. The basebar is definitely very narrow at 38cm but that has not bothered me yet and I have relatively broad shoulders considering I am 5’9" tall. That has not compromised steering or comfort at all. They are light and seem to fit me well. I did put on the profile-design F19 armrests though. The stock ones are just to small for anything longer than a sprint race.
Definitely go larger as consensus has stated. Even if it is too long, you can always have the extensions cut down, while maintaining warranty. Professional cycling teams do this for precise fitting. I have a set of larges myself and they are on the smaller size for “larges”

Does anyone know
- If it’s possible to slide in those salt stick dispensers inside the extensions? (is there a “cap” that we can pull out to slide them inside?) can’t find a picture that shows the back of the bar.
- The distance in between both extensions (trying to figure out how to fit in a water bottle in between the handlebars)
Thanks
I have a water bottle on mine and they are size medium. If I remember I will take some pictures tonight.
Since the shifter cables are routed through the rear of the aero extensions, I don’t think a salt stick will fit.
