Specialized Stop Sale On Carbon And Alloy Aerobars ? Not Carbon Aerofly Handlebars… ##VERIFIED##

Pro, being a Shimano subsidiary, effectively makes Shimano's own-brand saddles, stems, seatposts and handlebars. In its eight-strong line-up of carbon handlebars, the PLT Ergo is the one that's designed to be comfortable, while the others focus more on weight, aero or stiffness.
It's made from UD T700 carbon, and that carbon has been laid up well. There is noticeably less road buzz than I'd get with an alloy handlebar on the same bike. Although it's not designed for racing, it's plenty stiff enough for muscling around sprinting or hoiking up a steep hill. Where you really notice the difference is on longer rides. After a recent 170km gravel ride, my hands and wrists felt absolutely fine. And that was with some basic handlebar tape and no gloves to provide extra padding. Similarly, on road rides with narrower tyres, comfort levels are positively plush.
Handlebars are almost always made of either an aluminium alloy or carbon fibre. Carbon is lightweight and can be shaped more easily into aerodynamic or ergonomic profiles, but many racers still prefer aluminium for its ability to withstand the odd crash or drop. It's also more obvious when an aluminium bar has failed following an accident.
This recall involves carbon and alloy Aerobars sold individually and with model years 2012 through 2015 Specialized Shiv bicycles and model year 2013 Specialized Transition Apex bicycles. The carbon Aerobar was sold in black with a white Specialized logo on the top side of the handlebar, and the alloy model was sold in black with no markings.
Using clip-on aerobars is highly recommend for long-distance comfort and aerodynamics (see below). These are designed to mount on a section of round bar with a diameter of 31.8 mm. Almost all modern handlebars are this size at the stem, but many bars change shape or size quickly on either side of the stem and are therefore inappropriate to use with clip-on aerobars. In addition, some carbon handlebars have a section that is the correct size but are not reinforced outside of the stem clamping zone and so are not rated to handle the clamping forces needed to attach a pair of aerobars, so check this with the manufacturer for carbon handlebars.
The Criterium du Dauphine and Tour de Suisse offer riders a platform to improve and test their form ahead of next month\u2019s Tour de France.\nCriterium du Dauphine massive tech gallery\nHow to watch the Tour de Suisse 2018 on TV\nThe races also offer an opportunity to test the latest and unreleased tech in a race scenario ahead of manufacturers\u2019 launches that coincide with the biggest event on the cycling calendar.\nIntegrated carbon cockpits are not new technology, but alongside unseen aero framesets from Specialized, Trek and Ridley, the option for enhanced integration and improved aerodynamics has been embraced by the bike manufacturers, and newly designed cockpits are available to several WorldTour teams for the upcoming Tour de France.\nAlongside the new framesets and components from the biggest bike manufacturers in the world, Italian components specialists Deda has also been busy producing the new Alanera \u2014 or Black Wing \u2014 cockpit system for Alexander Kristoff (UAE Team Emirates).\nAerodynamic performance is difficult to quantify without getting the components into a wind tunnel, but further integration and design features are more obvious at first glance. \nNearly all the new cockpit systems seen in the WorldTour peloton have opted for internal cable routing alongside offering the option of integrated computer mounts.\nSpecialized S-Works Aerofly handlebars and new stem system\n\n The new aero bikes from Specialized have been equipped with new S-Works Aerofly handlebars Josh Evans\/Immediate Media\nFirst spotted at the Criterium du Dauphine, and also being raced on at Tour de Suisse, an update to the S-Works Aerofly handlebars seems to coincide with the new Specialized disc brake aero bike, seen for the first time at the same races.\nMaintaining the traditional aero handlebar design of flat tops, the handlebars appear to have a traditional circular cross-section at the centre for use with normal stems.\nOn the new Specialized, a frame-specific stem appears to be adopted and triangular inserts sit either side of this. It is likely these areas are where the internal cable routing from the levers exits the handlebars and enters into the stem for improved integration and aerodynamics.\nThe integration continues with the new Specialized aero cockpit, with the face plate of the stem offering an out-front computer mount. This is likely to be interchangeable for rider preference but is a considered design feature.\nTrek Madone Disc aero handlebars and stem system\n\n The unreleased Trek Madone Disc also has a new cockpit system, presumably to house the larger cables associated with hydraulic brakes Josh Evans\/Immediate Media\nThe Trek Madone Disc was also seen for the first time at the Criterium du Dauphine, and again is being raced at the Tour de Suisse by the Trek-Segafredo team.\nLike the new aero frameset from Specialized, the Trek Madone Disc appears to have a frame-specific stem to house gear cabling and hydraulic brake hoses through internal routing into the frame.\nHowever, instead of accommodating a traditional handlebar clamp, the Madone Disc cockpit looks to be a frame-specific \u2014 albeit possibly adjustable \u2014 handlebar to work in conjunction with the proprietary stem.\nA two-bolt-on adjustable out-front computer mount also looks to be an option on the cockpit system.\nRidley Noah integrated cockpit system\n\n This new aero frameset from Ridley also appears to have a frame-specific integrated carbon cockpit Josh Evans\/Immediate Media\nDetails are few and far between on the new aero frameset from Ridley, and a plastic frame wrap masks any clues as to exact design details and features. However, key frame design features are mirrored from previous versions of the Ridley Noah frameset and it is likely this is an updated version.\nThe one-piece cockpit from Ridley is perhaps the most seamless design out of the three new aero framesets in terms of the frame to cockpit integration.\nA headset cap looks to fill the hollow area at the top of the head tube and appears to allow the cockpit-specific spacers to turn as the bars do.\nWhile a one-piece cockpit system lacks any option of adjustability, the aerodynamic performance is likely to be better. \nRidley is a stakeholder in the Flanders Bike Valley wind tunnel in Belgium and it would be no surprise if the cockpit system and frameset had undertaken extensive testing at the facility.\nDeda Alanera integrated cockpit system\n\n A look at the frontal profile of the Deda Ale Nera cockpit Josh Evans\/Immediate Media\nIn a similar one-piece design as the Ridley cockpit, Italian components specialists Deda recently launched the Alanera carbon cockpit.\nAvailable in nine different sizes, the cockpit has a claimed weight of 350g and also has the expected design features of internal cable routing, accommodation for Di2 junction boxes and the option of an out-front computer mount for Garmin or SRM.\nAlexander Kristoff (UAE Team Emirates) is the only rider at Tour de Suisse to be using the new handlebars.\nOther notable mentions\n\n 3T\u2019s Aeronova Team handlebars are paired with BMC\u2019s ICS stem Josh Evans\/Immediate Media\nWhile the above components are the latest to arrive in the WorldTour peloton, integrated cockpit systems are used by riders from nearly every team.\nFor the 2018 season, Team Sky switches from PRO to MOST components, who offer the Talon integrated carbon cockpit and is used by a number of Team Sky riders.\nFactor (AG2R La Mondiale) and Scott (Mitchelton-Scott) also use frame-specific cockpit systems, while Vision, PRO and 3T also offer aero options for an array of teams in the WorldTour.","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/21\/2019\/03\/dsc_0761-1528982680163-ui9wrqlohe8h-462c8eb.jpg?quality=90&resize=768,574","width":768,"height":574},"headline":"New integrated aero cockpits from Deda, Specialized, Trek and Ridley","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Josh Evans"}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"BikeRadar","url":"https:\/\/www.bikeradar.com","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/21\/2019\/03\/cropped-White-Orange-da60b0b-04d8ff9.png?quality=90&resize=265,53","width":182,"height":60}},"speakable":{"@type":"SpeakableSpecification","xpath":["\/html\/head\/title","\/html\/head\/meta[@name='description']\/@content"],"url":"https:\/\/www.bikeradar.com\/features\/new-integrated-aero-cockpits-from-deda-specialized-trek-and-ridley\/"},"datePublished":"2018-06-14T17:30:00+00:00","dateModified":"2019-05-21T16:17:00+00:00"}] New integrated aero cockpits from Deda, Specialized, Trek and Ridley WorldTour teams race testing new tech ahead of Tour de France

Steel was and is popular, and remains a true classic. With its impressive high stiffness values, relatively low price and robustness, its enduring appeal is little wonder. The only downside: steel is a heavy material, which is why manufacturers in the racing sector, where competitors fret over every gram, primarily rely on aluminium and especially carbon. But enthusiasts will certainly always find a "steel hanger". For example, manufacturer Nitto offers track bike handlebars made of steel in various widths and with a drop of 152 and 170 millimetres. 2b1af7f3a8
