Hi guys and gals,
I'm looking into getting some custom aero bars built. I need something quite high since I'm quite tall and want something MUCH higher than the stock height. I've built mine higher using longer bolts, etc, but it's not enough. I just want them for comfort more than aerodynamics.
Anyone get custom ones built? Any recommendations?
Thanks, P

I've seen people use a second high rise stem for the aero bars if their steerer tube was long enough.

If the steerer isn't long enough for another stem, you can add a steerer extender that installs like a quill stem and replaces the star nut, you can then add another stem. Can go as high as you like with a high rise stems, ore even adjustable if you want to dial it in. Then add a set of cut down road bars that are clip-on compatible, for the aero bars.
