I am looking for new bars for my current audax bike. I have the basic circa ~2013 3T alloy bars and I have some RSP clip on Tri bars. My problem comes when I attach the Tri bars. The middle of the bars are wider for the stem and then they taper down to the grips. The tri bars attach on the taper and work loose over a 100km or so when used. Its a PITA as I have to move them inwards and retighten. This also has left scoring on the bar's powder coat, (plus I like to change the bars periodically as I don't want them braking whilst in use)***.
So any recommendations for a new set of bars please? Something with a slightly wider centre so I can attach the tri bars on to a flat (not tapered) section. I had thought of moving them out to the narrower part but the forearm pads then interfere with my arms/wrists when I ride on the drops.
Cheers,
Dave C
