I currently own a Giant TCR alliance 0 and I have it fitted with those profile Century aero bars that I managed to blag when I bought the bike. They have served me well this season but I am always looking to get more aero. I have pushed the seat up as high as is sensible and put my bars below all the spacers. However The arm rests for the profiles seem to sit up quite high.
Does anyone know of any good clip ons for less than £100 that sit really low in relation to the bars? I have managed to find the Easton Modular Aeroforce clip ons for a shade under £70 from wiggle. Are these about as low as I`m gonna get or are there better purchases to be made.
Ta v much.

Wife doesn't know yet.... sour days!!!
I've got the base-bars and the Dura-Ace bar-end shifters, cables etc waiting and ready to go for my TT conversion next year. Still looking for some cheap/light/functional ski-bend aero bars, though.

I`ve just bought them - bread and water for me for a couple o weeks.
I bought the zip grip tape to go with it and you get cool carbon fiber plugs to go on the end, if like me you don't have shifters mounted on them, nice bit of carbon bling!!!
Thanks again Tri surfer - Know of any half price P4`s going [;)]
you better check about the s-bends being supplied, I only got the ski style, I don't think you get two sets of extension's supplied.
I'll get on the case for the half price P4!!!!
cheers
After doing several searches I`m still happy its a good deal though.
Britspin - you`ve no idea what you`re talking about - Old skool mint all the way!!! [;)]
I've had to remove my LED light cause once I've fitted the aero bars, then I'v not really much room....
any suggestions????
Is this the only solution? Can you buy an extention ie so that the aero bars connect on the extension???
How does the re-re launch of the wispa impact this important issue?
I just got this gag as well.....sooo sloooowww
1) Try putting your front light on upside down, so it hangs underneath your handlebars.
2) For extra credits, do it so it still faces forwards.
3) Cakes rise during the cooking process, biscuits do not. Jaffa Cakes do indeed qualify as a cake, albeit small and slightly pointless.
3a) Anybody that now says "But what about cheesecake?" can f*** off.
3b) Yes, yes, yes.... Same for Kendal Mint Cake. Very funny.
4) Wispa bars? NEVER! Not after that nasty George Micheal 'Careless Wispa' incident.
Coat? Mine's the lycra one with 'Orca' written on the back.
(Just re-read this thread - you can tell its the off season!!!)
Maybe its time for "What aero bars?" TP2
"Yes indeed, Mr. Truck-Driving-Yorkie-bar, you are a big lad, but you are out of shape. No?"
what about dime bar? soft on the outside (lull you into a false sense of security) and then hard as nails on the inside!
I mean with what other chocolate bar do you run the risk of injury - if you've never stabbed yourself in the roof of the mouth while eating one I don't believe you! [:D]
It takes a hard bar to come with that sort of threat!
Now everybody in the office is wondering what the hell I'm laughing at. Thanks. [:D]
