Profile design Svet and/or Ozero base bars

I want to lower the front end of my P2 and am using the stock bars that came with it (Vision Base bar and clip on aero bars)

I want to take the last arm rest spacer out of the clip ons but in doing so the pads will hit the base bar. So I was looking at a base bar with a little bit of downward slope to them and found two bars that I think will work, the Svet and Ozero bars.

What I don’t know is if there is enough room to do this with either of those bars. There isn’t a shop around me that has either in stock so I can’t test it.

Does anyone use either of those bars with the Vision Clip-ons and could tell me how much room there is between the pads and bar?

I’m open to other suggestions too. I already have a stem at -40° on the bike.

Thanks

Negative rise stem?

I have the Svets and several sets of Visions, so I can take a measurement/picture for you when I get home.

Can’t go down to zero spacers unless your vision bars are different from mine. The armrest cup won’t sit on the top of the extension without some sort of shim/spacer that is about 1-2mm long. Try it, but you’ll see it isn’t secure. This issue is independent of the base bar issue.

I didn’t know that, guess I’m going to have my machine shop buddies do something for me.

A thin brake washer will do the trick, no reason to go complex with it. I’ve done it with several different kinds of washers from Home Depot, etc.

Seems legit. They’re thick enough to get the armrest off the round part of the extension, and meant to bear loads. Nice DIY solution sir.
