TT bars for MTB

keoclassic · 2018-08-14 08:28:33

Is it possible to get a reducing shim for my current tt bars so that I can use them on the smaller diameter handlebar?

I am sure I have seen them (not specifically for TT bars but for Garmins etc.). If you can't find one, try SJS cycles but also consider making your own, an old tube might do the trick?

Please post a pic when you've figured it out.

Preferably of you riding in a full aero position whilst nailing a gnarly gap jump.

Is the issue more that most MTB bars have a taper reducing from the headstock out towards the bars, right where the aero bars would clamp. I would also like to do the same as you but that was the issue I came across.

why would you do this a bit like asking does anyone do a full suss TT bike. Not being sarcastic genuinely curious in 35 years of MTB never felt the need but maybe I am missing something.
