We recieved signal intelligence today from Hed to the effect that a “large” shipment of new carbon fiber Hed “S” bend aerobars in en route to our location at this time.

jk_allen13 is first in line. Everybody else… Line up behind him. They will go VERY fast.

Tom,

Are you expecting to receive just the S-bend extensions or the S-bend’s with integrated basebar/brakes?

I’ll check it soon here. We are absolutely nuts in here right now.

Tom,

Please place me in line, IF these are just the extensions and not the full bar setup.

We got one pair of complete bars and three pairs of extensions. Of the three pairs of extensions we have one left, two are spoken for, both for sold bikes. One pair of extensions in carbon remains available and two pairs of alumnium extensions remain available, along with the complete set of Hed bars with the carbon “S” extensions.

PM me if interested.

are the carbon ones heavier than the ally ?

Of course you posting this here won’t have ANYTHING to do with the fact… yawn

Tom, Just wondering, the bars sound good, but how is there weight, compared to other bars?Cowboy

Functionally how are these extensions bettter than getting a set of mountain bike bars that have the bend to raise the handlerbars and cutting them in half? Doesn’t that make an “s” bend for ~$15-$25?

I think that I read this procedure somewhere on here before. Conversly if you want straight extensions like ulrich just use a straight mountain bike bar and cut it in half.

I have never tried either of these procedures, but I can’t imagine how the prepackaged “s” bends are worth the extra cost. Let me know if I am totally off base.

Tom, does this mean that mine are on the way? If so what day did they get shipped.

i assume this is only if you have a 1 piece bar already? if not, do you know a way to mount them to the base bar? (i.e. what do you use for brackets?)
