I have a set of the nice Felt F-bend carbon fiber aerobar extensions. However, I can’t for the life of me get my DA bar ends (7800) in! It seems the ID of the bars is a hair too small, but not close enough to sand off the difference.
Has anyone else had similar issues, or do I have a set that are out of tolerance?
how did you even come across a set of those? they seem comfy.
I had the same problem. Used Jagwire barcons. worked great.
Thanks for the tip! Nice excuse to put them on the bike.
I got the fbends when I bought the whole felt base bar system.

the Shimano DA bar end shifter clamps for 7900 are a smaller size and the 7800 series (BSSL78 are discontinued). The carbon extensions were designed around the 7900, SRAM, Campagnolo size. Honing the ii.d. 0.4mm will allow them to fit, or the Jagwire mounts are a great option as well.
