• Does AliExpress do decent (maybe carbon?) clip on bars? Thinking more J bend than S as I'd use for comfort/extra position on long rides rather than speed and TTing but happy to be swayed either way by somebody who has more clue than I do!

  • I use similar to these.

    They’re not adjustable at all but sit down flush with the top of your handlebar and weigh nothing. They’re a nice alternative to the Hirschi head-unit grab and keep you UCI compliant on your ride to Lidl.

    They use a clamp like a Kalloy uno stem faceplate. The threaded bit in the carbon is flakey so only torque them to ~ 3nm (I think) and go slow, back and forth, small quarter-turns between the two bolts. Then they’re fine.

    I have some of those too.

    Pros: Cheap, light, low stack height
    Cons: Pads are pretty thin, I replaced with 10mm EVA foam to create some actual padding.

  • Good to see they pass EN14766 requirements, which is a MTB standard and has no mention of tri bar extensions... Although there is a section about bar ends so if they tested them as such you can in theory grab them them on the ends and sprint. Or hang 50kg of Lidl's finest potatoes on each one.
