For dropbars, alternative to BarYak?

[geotrouvetout67]

I like the concept of BarYak, there is room for accessories, ergo grips and you can add a foldable arm rest to use the system as aerobars on a dropbar.

There are $30 accessories attachements on Amazon but these are weak, can't be used as an aerobar. A regular aerobar does not have room for bags and accessories attachements.

BarYak is really the best solution but, it's super expensive, the bars are $230 and the arm rest $145. Fishing for ideas.

I've attached a drybag straight to my aerobars using cinch straps, which was great for eliminating cable squish. That said, I don't use areobars anymore because I tend to ride with others, and don't spend that much time on flat ground, where they can be used.

If you are looking for just a bit of extra bar space, Problem Solvers makes a beefier mount that holds a typical 22mm bar, and you can even double it up and replace the bar with a wider one if you need more space and strength.

This is an option I thought about but my front roll needs to be attached to either the handle bar or an extension parallel to it. There are such bars for like $30 but I don't think I can fit one high enough under a regular aerobar. Also there aren't many light aerobars with arm rests that can be lifted up (only fond one low end heavy model so far), all the others eat up the bar tops real estate and on an ultra endurance trip I need all the hands positions I can get.

I did not know that website however, some pretty interesting gadgets there.

Thanks

3T makes a nice flip up version:

But really, you may need to adapt the bag to the setup, rather than the setup to the bag.

Some people make bags specifically designed for aerobats, like the Apidura one
