I was experiencing how elmuch time is needed with new tilt blocks from wattshop. Absolutely brilliant design!
As this is a Profile Design focussed thread I have to point out that there are no 3rd party providers that are endorsed for use on PD bars currently. In fact there are several that PD would really prefer to not see used. Obviously you’ve got Felt bars so that’s not relevant to you. It’s just worth pointing out that only one other aerobar brand passes PD testing standards.
What’s your stack height you threw in the stock bayonet bridge?
I just have the bridge for mounting my garmin up near my hands. If I needed a bridge I’d use the A3C integrated one as it’s half the weight of the alloy and looks cool, but that’s no good to you.
The PD extensions are fine, they are tested far beyond ISO standards. As long as the clamp you use is within tolerance and clamps evenly you should be fine.
My comment was more directed at adaptors on basebars. And as a general comment, not specifically about what you’ve got. It’s just that some aftermarket parts cause concerns for bar makers (including bike brands that make their own bars).
Measure from the front of the bracket clamp to the end of the extension (assuming you’re happy with current position).
If more than 290mm get the 400 long extension.
If less than 290mm get the 340 version.
If less than 230mm I’m afraid the ASC series won’t suit.
For the grip angle.
If you have SRAM AXS, get the 52 as the grip is longer to accommodate the low profile of wired blips.
I don’t recall the angle of the ex11 grips and I can’t check right now, but in general the 52 is more relaxed at the wrist and the 43 forces a tighter hand position.
Thank you. I should have provided more information. I am going to (finally) switch from the EX11 front end to the EX10 so I can tilt the bars a bit. I measure 300mm from the front of the pads to the tips of the extensions (400mm from the rear). Current extensions have 30 degree bends at the end, and that is just fine. Yes, I have AXS. Also to consider is mounting the BTA and Garmin both of which are very clean presently. I do NOT have technical expertise (or much ability) so PLEASE feel free to give me advice, changes, alternatives, etc.
You may be able to use the EX10 BTA mount
that piece on the bottom right goes on the extensions
But you may struggle to move it far enough forward to get 64mm from the other hole in the centre of the bridge. Hard to say without assembling to test.
Actually, your measurement is different from what I meant so you should have no issue. I’ll take a pic later on to demonstrate then post again.
There is no nice garmin mount at this point, but it is coming in a few months (sits up near the wrists)
With AXS you will probably be better to go with the 52ASC, just to get the grip length
Can someone confirm that this image from PD’s website is right or wrong? It says the 400mm length version measure 87mm in height from the bottom to the bottom of the grip portion. That can’t be correct, right? I assume it’s 87mm to the TOP of the grip portion.
The website description says:
"Looking at the grip section, we have a 87mm rise from the base of the extension to the grip with the grip angle being set at 43 degrees."Extension Rise: 340 - 97mm or 400 - 107mm (bottom to top)
So 87mm bottom to bottom is most likely correct.

Sorry, I’d seen your question and planned to answer but caught Covid and lost a week entirely, so haven’t caught up since
I thought the ASC diagram had been fixed but I can’t find the fixed one, so this image of the 52a will have to show how they’re measured
Most PD extensions are standardising to that rise now.
I’m told it should be days for the 52ASC-340 to become available in the USA. Assuming that the arriving stock doesn’t get absorbed by backorders - I only know that they shipped from Taiwan.
As usual, don’t wait if you want a set, still can’t make enough to meet demand and the increasing requirements from bike brands mean that very few are making it out to the retail channels.
Currently using the Tririg Closed Back Scoops on my Aeria Ultimate II. 51SpeedShip Umtimate extensions. Planning to change to the 43 ASC (or 52 if it becomes available in the Philippines).
Have you encountered having this combo (Tririg CBS + 43/52 ASC). Will the “forearm/wrist rest” hit the tip of the closed back Scoops?
That’s going to depend on your setup, but in most cases yes it will interfere.
It might not for me as I’m tall (thus I have long arms)
For a lot of people, we’re close to having interference with the Ergo+ or Race+ armrests, which are 125mm long
Closed Scoops are 228mm long and don’t have a scalloped underside, so it would be a very rare case that they could be combined with the ASC extensions.
