I feel this might have been done recently but I can't find the thread.
My experiment with aero bars on my 29er was mostly successful but the width of the 31.8mm clamping area is too narrow which meant the aero bars themselves were too close together.
I see Salsa do flat bars with a slightly wider clamping area (100mm) and Thorne/SJS Cycles do a touring bar with an even wider clamping area
Bit worried that a wider clamping area might make the bar feel harsher but am hoping this could be offset by tyre pressure and suspension.
Also not loving the sweep of either bar (11° or 12.5°). In my experience swept bars feel a bit truck driver-y and almost *too* relaxed.
Any options I'm missing?
