Okay, I’m sure I’ve seen pictures of this – mounting the Profile T2+ such that the extensions run UNDER the base bar, and the pads are on top of the base bar, essentially riding ON the base bar. Here’s the graphic of the aero bar from the TriSports site:

Even with the block under the pad mount, it still wouldn’t be tall enough to get on top of the base bar. Anyone know how this could be done?
The armrest “wing” can bolt onto the top or bottom clamp. They come default bolted to the top clamp (at least they do for the carbon stryke). Bolt them to the bottom clamp and then rotate each bar 180 degrees. Mount bottom clamp to top of base bar and and top clamp to bottom. Hopefully this explains it.
Actually, the arm rest is another circular clamp on the back part of the extension. So it doesn’t attach to the base bar clamp at all. I was initially thinking that it was configured like you said, until I opened the package this afternoon (ordered from TriSports with the recent 8-14-18% off coupon code).
Any one else? I’m thining I’m screwed here and just need to bite the bullet and get the double hit: Oval clip ons and the S-bend extensions (unfortunately two separate items to purchase – they don’t sell the 710’s with the S-bends). Ouch.
Brider do you have the Carbon X base bar? I also have a Carbon X and was wondering if the new T2’s would work, if not what extensions would work? Thanks.
I have a very old Mavic base bar (circa 1988 or so) with a good drop to it. The T2’s would work with any round 26 or 31.8 diameter base bar. But the extensions will run on top of the base bar, and the pads will be about 4.5 cm above the base bar centerline. Was looking to minimize this distance…
Just looking at them now and all you really need is a spacer between the circular clamp and the armrest base and a couple of longer bolts. Any engineering shop should be able to make a spacer for you for a couple of bucks.
Still looking at the bars and doing it will only get the armrests 2cm lower if you’ve got any spacers under the stem ditch them and end up with the same result.
Like this.
You need an extra set of “8” washers and a few longer bolts…
Quill stem is already buried… Rides level.
I’m thinking that the extra set of figure 8 risers would do it.
Dev,
are you talking about these ones?
Yeah something like that. I guess you could try two sets of the profile spacers but I was thinking more of getting something machined up that looked neat and tidy.
are you familiar with zipties?
